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

["Scott Carey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-647?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12928442#action_12928442 ] 

Scott Carey commented on AVRO-647:
----------------------------------

more remaining bits:

adding RAT to the build.
http://incubator.apache.org/rat/apache-rat-plugin/index.html

fixing checkstyle
adding the apache license header to the pom files -- though the parent pom build process does seem to add that somehow.


more notes:
I had to copy a couple common test classes, we might want a build-only artifact for test-tools and test-resources.

> 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.
