Matthew Rocklin commented on HAWQ-1046:
---------------------------------------

Separating libhdfs3 into a separate repository with occasional updates of the 
copied version within HAWQ sounds great to me.

I agree you should avoid the term "attic".  It does mean "private space" as 
[~wangzw] pointed out and also "space for unused things" or "long term storage".

> Some people used to depend on the libhdfs3 library maintained alongside HAWQ. 
>  This library was merged into the HAWQ codebase, making the situation a bit 
> more confusing.
> Is independent use of libhdfs3 still supported by this community?  If so what 
> is the best way for packagers to reason about versions and releases of this 
> component?  It would be convenient to see documentation on how people can 
> best depend on libhdfs3 separately from HAWQ if this is an intention.
> It looks like people have actually submitted work to the old version
> See: https://github.com/Pivotal-Data-Attic/pivotalrd-libhdfs3/pull/28
> It looks like the warning that the library had moved has been removed:
> https://github.com/Pivotal-Data-Attic/pivotalrd-libhdfs3/commit/ddcb2404a5a67e0f39fe49ed20591545c48ff426
> This removal may lead to some frustration
