Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE updated HADOOP-6305:
-------------------------------------------

    Hadoop Flags: [Reviewed]

> While it certainly seems inappropriate it ought to be addressed by a separate JIRA such your HADOOP-6159. Does it make sense?

Sure.

+1 patch looks good.  Could you also try various ant targets, especially "ant tar", to make sure everything still working?

PS: Not sure if this is qualified to be committed to 0.21.

> Current build files of {{common}}, {{mapreduce}}, {{hdfs}} have their own unique ways of naming properties which otherwise have very same meaning. I.e. the locations of java source code are called {{core.src.dir}}, {{mapred.src.dir}}, and {{hdfs.src.dir}} respectively.
> It makes modifications needed for all three projects to be very unique thus increasing the number of difference between builds of the projects.
