Description

I downloaded the binary tarball to play with hadoop 2.8.0 and noticed that the size has almost doubled. The unpacked tarball is multiple GB big:

$ du -sh hadoop-2.8.0
2.2G	hadoop-2.8.0

The latest hadoop 2.7.x is only 332MB upacked:

$ du -sh hadoop-2.7.3
332M	hadoop-2.7.3

The size increase seems to be in share/doc/

$ du -sh hadoop-2.8.0/share/doc/
2.0G	hadoop-2.8.0/share/doc/

$ du -sh hadoop-2.7.3/share/doc/
 94M	hadoop-2.7.3/share/doc/

It looks like something went wrong during the build.
