                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11875
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Protobufs
    Affects Versions: 0.98.6
         Environment: OSGI container
            Reporter: ayache khettar


Hi

HbaseZeroCopyByteString class isn't accessible in OSGI based environment. The reason is that it ends up in a separate route package within an OSGI bundle. As such the class isn't viewable by the classLoader.

I understand that the hbase-module isn't an osgi bundle, but there is another project which makes use of this module to generate an osgi bundle for the OSGI container: https://github.com/apache/servicemix4-bundles/tree/trunk/hbase-0.98.0-hadoop2. If you get hold of the binary or source artefact from maven, unzip the jar and you will see the structure of the project:
com/google/ (classes defined in this package are not visible by the classLoader).
org/apache/hbase

I understand the reason of having a foreign package cause goggle base class defines package level methods. It would be nice to work out another way of extending google protobuf classes.

Regards,

Ayache
