[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-1069) Rename Hadoop record I/O to Jute

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1069?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12478498 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1069:
--------------------------------------

-1 The general naming rule is that projects should have meaningless names but that everything else should strive to have a descriptive name.  Look for example at Java itself: the term "Java" had little to do with computing, while the package names listed in http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/overview-summary.html are descriptive.

> jute was the original name of the hadoop record i/o component. IMHO, it is easier to pronounce, easier to remember and has already stuck among its users. This renaming should be done while there isn't a large codebase using jute, otherwise it will be very difficult later. rcc will be renamed jrc (jute record compiler).
