[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-245) Improve Bigtop layout

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-245?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13145904#comment-13145904 ] 

Andrew Bayer commented on BIGTOP-245:
-------------------------------------

Some cleanup is necessary in terms of nuking redundant directories - most notably the top level test dir, and possibly the top level docs dir. But I think the "bigtop-" prefix is reasonable to keep. It's become reasonably standard in open source projects to use a project prefix on directories like this - see https://github.com/apache/hadoop-common, e.g. It helps make it easy to tell what project you're in, etc.

> Bigtop has a lot of redundancy in the way it names its directories:
> $ ls trunk/
> bigtop-deploy  bigtop-packages  bigtop-test-framework  CHANGES.txt   DEVNOTES    docs     Makefile  package.mk  README  test
> bigtop.mk      bigtop-repos     bigtop-tests           check-env.sh  DISCLAIMER  LICENSE  NOTICE    pom.xml     src
> It would be nice to remove the prefix "bigtop-" in all these directories
