[jira] Commented: (AVRO-647) Break avro.jar into avro.jar, avro-dev.jar and avro-hadoop.jar

["Doug Cutting (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12969561#action_12969561 ] 

Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-647:
-----------------------------------

Probably the IPC tests should be restructured.  The way they work is ugly and perhaps fragile.  The base test class has a static variables for the client and server.  Then there's an @Before test which creates and starts the appropriate kind of server and client if they're null, setting this static variable.  Then there's an @AfterClass method that closes the client and server.  The @Test methods are inherited by subclasses so that the same tests can be run with different clients and servers.  Perhaps this should be switched to use @RunWith(Parametrized.class)?

> Our dependencies are starting to get a little complicated on the Java side.
> I propose we build two (possibly more) jars related to our major dependencies and functions.
> 1. avro.jar  (or perhaps avro-core.jar)
> This contains all of the core avro functionality for _using_ avro as a library.  This excludes the specific compiler, avro idl, and other build-time or development tools, as well as avro packages for third party integration such as hadoop.  This jar should then have a minimal set of dependencies (jackson, jetty, SLF4J ?).
> 2. avro-dev.jar
> This would contain compilers, idl, development tools, etc.  Most applications will not need this, but build systems and developers will.
> 3. avro-hadoop.jar
> This would contain the hadoop API and possibly pig/hive/whatever related to that.  This makes it easier for pig/hive/hadoop to consume avro-core without circular dependencies.
