    requires maven 3.1.1 or greater.
 
+ PMDK library build options:
+
+   The Persistent Memory Development Kit (PMDK), formerly known as NVML, is a growing
+   collection of libraries which have been developed for various use cases, tuned,
+   validated to production quality, and thoroughly documented. These libraries are built
+   on the Direct Access (DAX) feature available in both Linux and Windows, which allows
+   applications directly load/store access to persistent memory by memory-mapping files
+   on a persistent memory aware file system.
+
+   It is currently an optional component, meaning that Hadoop can be built without
+   this dependency. Please Note the library is used via dynamic module. For getting
+   more details please refer to the official sites:
+   http://pmem.io/ and https://github.com/pmem/pmdk.
+
+  * -Drequire.pmdk is used to build the project with PMDK libraries forcibly. With this
+    option provided, the build will fail if libpmem library is not found. If this option
+    is not given, the build will generate a version of Hadoop with libhadoop.so.
+    And storage class memory(SCM) backed HDFS cache is still supported without PMDK involved.
+    Because PMDK can bring better caching write/read performance, it is recommended to build
+    the project with this option if user plans to use SCM backed HDFS cache.
+  * -Dpmdk.lib is used to specify a nonstandard location for PMDK libraries if they are not
+    under /usr/lib or /usr/lib64.
+  * -Dbundle.pmdk is used to copy the specified libpmem libraries into the distribution tar
+    package. This option requires that -Dpmdk.lib is specified. With -Dbundle.pmdk provided,
+    the build will fail if -Dpmdk.lib is not specified.
