             Summary: SDK should have runtime hamcrest dependency or should bundle it
                 Key: BEAM-2237
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-2237
             Project: Beam
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: sdk-java-core
            Reporter: Kenneth Knowles


{{TestOptions}}, {{SerializableMatchers}}, and {{PAssert}} have compile-time dependencies on hamcrest. We scope it {{provided}} to avoid having it on the classpath at runtime.

This has lots of pain points, but one that recently bit the Spark runner is that when {{TestOptions}} or any subinterface is registered, we gain a runtime dependency on Hamcest. So users of the Spark runner all had to provide it, even outside of testing.

We should just simplify this to either not have this dependency (perhaps via some hacking to make shading possibly) or declare the dependency.
