[jira] [Commented] (GIRAPH-101) Replace munge with shim layer similar to Pig and Hive

Akila Wajirasena commented on GIRAPH-101:
-----------------------------------------

I successfully implemented shim loader class similar to hive for girpah. Now I'm trying to move the munge codes to use the shim layer. I moved ImmutableOutputCommitter successfully. 
The problem that I have is, all of these classes are in the girpah-core module and it might not makes sense moving some of these to the shim module. But, since giraph-core depends on the shim module there is no other way to do it. 
In addition there are some interfaces like giraph-core/src/main/java/org/apache/giraph/comm/WorkerClient.java too. 

What do you think is the best thing to do?

> Munge (http://sonatype.github.io/munge-maven-plugin/) is a hacky way of support multiple versions of Hadoop.  The shim layers in Pig and Hive are a cleaner way to do this I think.
> Munge also forces us to release only in source, or to supply different binaries for different hadoop versions.
