[jira] [Created] (SOLR-2852) SolrJ doesn't need woodstox jar
SolrJ doesn't need woodstox jar
-------------------------------
Key: SOLR-2852
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2852
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: clients - java
Reporter: David Smiley
Priority: Trivial
The /dist/solrj-lib/ directory contains wstx-asl-3.2.7.jar (Woodstox StAX API). SolrJ doesn't actually have any type of dependency on this library. The maven build doesn't have it as a dependency and the tests pass. Perhaps Woodstox is faster than the JDK's StAX, I don't know, but I find that point quite moot since SolrJ can use the efficient binary format. Woodstox is not a small library either, weighting in at 524KB, and of course if someone actually wants to use it, they can.
I propose woodstox be removed as a SolrJ dependency. I am *not* proposing it be removed as a Solr WAR dependency since it is actually required there due to an obscure XSLT issue.

[jira] [Commented] (SOLR-2852) SolrJ doesn't need woodstox jar

David Smiley commented on SOLR-2852:
------------------------------------
Two other points:
* As a general principle, minimizing client libraries/dependencies is a good thing, especially one that isn't likely to actually be used!
* Most people will assume all libraries in the /dist/solrj-lib/ directory are required when this one isn't.
* Woodstox is not the only fast implementation; some quick google searches unearthed [Aalto|http://wiki.fasterxml.com/AaltoHome]

David Smiley closed SOLR-2852.
------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
After some deliberations I had on IRC #lucene-dev with Steve Rowe and Chris Male, I haven't convinced them and so I will close the issue.
