--------------------------------------
bq. It's very useful to be able use to 'hadoop version' to determine the date
and user who built it when dealing with custom builds. From an ASF perspective,
as soon as we start doing releases correctly again, it'll be a quick way to
determine who the RE was for a given release.
I understand user and date do give us more information. What I'm curious about
is whether this information is verifiable. For example, git commit id's are
pretty concrete and it would be easy to verify that the binary matches the said
git commit id. However, I don't think user and date give you really verifiable
information. The user is a local system user id which may have no verifiable
relation to the actual release manager, right?

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Reporter: Sangjin Lee
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently in the namenode UI as well as the resource manager UI, we display
> the date of the build as well as the user id of the person who built it.
> Although other bits of information is useful (e.g. git commit it, branch,
> etc.), the value of the build date and user is suspect. We should consider
> removing them from the visible UI.
