Hi, It would be great if the jar artifacts from the hadoop-0.20.1 release were available on the central Maven repository for use by downstream projects.
See http://people.apache.org/~jukka/org.apache.hadoop-0.20.1-repo.zip for a simple package I created that takes the five hadoop-0.20.1-xxx.jar files from hadoop-0.20.1.tar.gz and organizes them into five hadoop-xxx 0.20.1 artifacts in the Maven repository format. If you think this is a good idea, you can simply unpack the zip to /www/people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository/org/apache/hadoop on people.apache.org. These are the same files that you already released augmented with some minimal Maven metadata, so it's up to you whether a new release vote would be needed. I've included my signatures on all the artifacts as an indication that the artifacts come from a hadoop-0.02.1.tar.gz package whose authenticity I've verified, but you should still check the files and optionally add your own signatures before deploying them. The extra Maven metadata and the directory layout is all generated with Maven commands like this: mvn deploy:deploy-file \ -Durl=file://hadoop-repo -DrepositoryId=hadoop-repo \ -Dfile=hadoop-0.20.1-core.jar -Dpackaging=jar \ -DgroupId=org.apache.hadoop -DartifactId=hadoop-core -Dversion=0.20.1 BR, Jukka Zitting
