[jira] [Created] (BIGTOP-101) Need to come up with a strategy for
dealing with soft dependencies between packages
Need to come up with a strategy for dealing with soft dependencies between packages
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: BIGTOP-101
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-101
Project: Bigtop
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: General
Affects Versions: 0.1.0
Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
Assignee: Roman Shaposhnik
Fix For: 0.3.0
Quite a few components in Bigtop have, what's known as, soft dependency. They detect presence of other Bigtop components during run-time and extend their functionality accordingly. A good example of that is Pig, which, if HBase client jars are present would allow HBase queries to be performed. We have to come up with the best client delivery strategy for such things. One option is to split things like HBase into multiple packages, like lib, client, and server - but that requires upstream changes as well to split the jars up. Another approach is to have subpackages (e.g. hbase-hive subpackage or hbase-pig, etc.) We have to come up with a unifying strategy for how to deal with this.
