[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-12857) Rework hadoop-tools-dist

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12857?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15172744#comment-15172744 ] 

Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-12857:
-------------------------------------------

There have been several jiras as of late (e.g, HADOOP-12556 , HADOOP-12721 just to name two) where there is growing concern about ease of use vs. performance vs. surprises. in HADOOP-12556 I offered up two potential solutions to the issue:

* break apart hadoop-tools-dist into multiple directories. create a shell profile that sucks that functionalities entire dir.
* keep hadoop-tools-dist as one big dir (thus making it bw compat, but still potentially messy). build a tool that creates shell profiles based upon the maven dependency trees to list the specific jars needed by that functionality.

> As hadoop-tools grows bigger and bigger, it's becoming evident that having a single directory that gets sucked in is staring to become a big burden.  Let's rework this to be smarter.
