> Using Hadoop from projects like Pig/Hive/Sqoop/Flume/Oozie or any in-house system that interacts with Hadoop is quite challenging for the following reasons:
> * *Different versions of Hadoop produce different artifacts:* Before Hadoop 0.23 there was a single artifact hadoop-core, starting with Hadoop 0.23 there are several (common, hdfs, mapred*, yarn*)
> * *There are no 'client' artifacts:* Current artifacts include all JARs needed to run the services, thus bringing into clients several JARs that are not used for job submission/monitoring (servlet, jsp, tomcat, jersey, etc.)
> * *Doing testing on the client side is also quite challenging as more artifacts have to be included than the dependencies define:* for example, the history-server artifact has to be explicitly included. If using Hadoop 1 artifacts, jersey-server has to be explicitly included.
> * *3rd party dependencies change in Hadoop from version to version:* This makes things complicated for projects that have to deal with multiple versions of Hadoop as their exclusions list become a huge mix & match of artifacts from different Hadoop versions and it may be break things when a particular version of Hadoop requires a dependency that other version of Hadoop does not require.
> Because of this it would be quite convenient to have the following 'aggregator' artifacts:
> * *org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-client* : it includes all required JARs to use Hadoop client APIs (excluding all JARs that are not needed for it)
> * *org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-test* : it includes all required JARs to run Hadoop Mini Clusters
> These aggregator artifacts would be created for current branches under development (trunk, 0.22, 0.23, 1.0) and for released versions that are still in use.
> For branches under development, these artifacts would be generated as part of the build.
> For released versions we would have a a special branch used only as vehicle for publishing the corresponding 'aggregator' artifacts.
