add hadoop-tools to the classpath
---------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-8255
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8255
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: John George
Priority: Minor
As of today, none of the components in hadoop tools is in the classpath.
Historically (from what I was told) these were not in the classpath because
there existed other version of these tools that users wanted to run and hence
did not want the hadoop tools to be in the classpath by default. Is that still
true today?
Also, if users do want to add their own hadoop tools to the classpath, there
are other ways to ensure that the user's classpath is picked up before hadoop's
classpath.
So, if there are no other reasons, can we add hadoop tools to the classpath? Or
am I missing something?
