[jira] [Commented] (PHOENIX-4262) Create shaded packages to shade all uses of Guava

["Josh Elser (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-4262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16187518#comment-16187518 ] 

Josh Elser commented on PHOENIX-4262:
-------------------------------------

IMO, the solution when working across disjoint software projects like this is to shade/relocate all of the dependencies that we use.

While, in the common case, it bloats the size of a Phoenix installation (given Hadoop and HBase would both provide their own), it prevents us from having to be proactive in catching any upgrades to Guava that the HBase community enacts that would otherwise break Phoenix.

> The Phoenix build breaks if we upgrade the Guava version to say, 20.0 due to lack of backward compatibility. 
> To handle this, we can perhaps use shaded packages to avoid dependency conflicts at runtime.
