Hi Sriram, I also do -Dmaven.skip.javadoc=true usually and that cuts out a couple minutes. Unless you need a tarball, you can also drop -Ptar.
When I'm just making quick changes confined to the java code, I usually just use "mvn -Dskiptests install" from within the hdfs project, then manually cp the resulting target/hadoop-hdfs-0.24.0-SNAPSHOT.jar into my install dir/share/hadoop/hdfs. Much faster than the full rebuild. -Todd On Wed, Feb 15, 2012 at 8:52 AM, Harsh J <ha...@cloudera.com> wrote: > Sriram, > > My package command didn't take as long with the same command -- where > do you see it getting stuck at most of the times?
