             Summary: Provide slider dependencies as a self contained versioned tarball
                 Key: SLIDER-777
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLIDER-777
             Project: Slider
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build, client
    Affects Versions: Slider 0.70
            Reporter: Sumit Mohanty
             Fix For: Slider 0.80


Currently, slider client picks up all the dependencies from the lib folder. This causes an issue for code that embed Slider client where either they need to specify a folder which has the all the required (but no more) jar files or their own lib directory which contains jar files of the embedding application as well.

Slider should explore (similar to Tez or MR) the possibility of packaging all dependencies into a tarball that can be stored in a version aware fashion in HDFS or local FS.

A Slider client can choose to use a specific version when creating the an instance of an application. Now, it is possible for a client of certain version to create an app using another version of the tarball. _This requires further investigation in terms of how easy to debug the issues if there is no compatibility between versions._
