Description
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?
