[jira] [Commented] (CASSANDRA-3665) [patch] allow for clientutil.jar to be used without the base cassandra.jar for client applications

["Eric Evans (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-3665?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13244629#comment-13244629 ] 

Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-3665:
---------------------------------------

For what it's worth, and whether or not it's Right, this was more or less intentional.  The only dependencies added were those needed by the classes in {{o.a.c.cql.jdbc}}. {{UUIDGen}} is an example of something that was added as a dependency (not to be used directly), and the only transient dependencies included were those needed by the methods the Jdbc* classes access.

TL;DR, that jar hasn't been setup to use {{UUIDGen.getTimeUUIDBytes()}}.

I realize that's probably not at all obvious though, so we should probably come up with a better solution (and open a separate ticket).

Unfortunately, simply including {{FBUtilities}} is non-trivial because that results in mountains of transient dependencies being pulled in.  I think we'll either need to refactor our way around {{FBUtilities}}, or split up {{UUIDGen}}.

> clientutil.jar can't be run from a client by itself without the presence of cassandra.jar which seems wrong. Added needed classes to run by itself.
