[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-640) Sync up dependency library versions automatically

["Konstantin Boudnik (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13614513#comment-13614513 ] 

Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-640:
-------------------------------------------

I believe jsvc isn't just a dependency library: it is a component of the Bigtop much like tomcat, etc. So, I don't see why we need to make such a change for one component and not the others? Perhaps, a better way of packaging jsvc should be devised instead?

> Currently BigTop hardcodes the versions of dependency libraries to use, e.g. https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/bigtop/trunk/bigtop.mk uses 1.0.10 for jsvc.  Let's say hypothetically that HDFS fixes a bug by bumping it to 1.0.11, then BigTop would have to be updated manually to reflect that.  I can imagine scenarios where a static definition in BigTop is desired, but a way to automatically pick up the projects' dependencies seem valuable.
