[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-8327) distcpv2 and distcpv1 jars should not coexist

Dave Thompson created HADOOP-8327:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: distcpv2 and distcpv1 jars should not coexist
                 Key: HADOOP-8327
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8327
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.23.2
            Reporter: Dave Thompson
            Assignee: Dave Thompson


Distcp v2 (hadoop-tools/hadoop-distcp/...)    and Distcp v1 (hadoop-tools/hadoop-extras/...) are currently both built, and the resulting hadoop-distcp-*.jar and hadoop-extras-*.jar end up in the same class path directory.   This causes some undeterministic problems, where v1 is launched when v2 is intended, or even v2 is launched, but may later fail on various nodes because of mismatch with v1.

According to
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html ("Understanding class path wildcards")

"The order in which the JAR files in a directory are enumerated in the expanded class path is not specified and may vary from platform to platform and even from moment to moment on the same machine."

Suggest distcpv1 be depricated at this point, possibly by discontinuing build of distcpv1.
