Description

The current method of installing bkjournal manager involves generating a tarball, and extracting it with special flags over the hdfs distribution. This is cumbersome and prone to being broken by other changes (see https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk@1220940). I think a cleaner way to doing this is to generate a single jar that can be placed in the lib dir of hdfs.
