[jira] [Commented] (GIRAPH-346) Top Level POM

["Avery Ching (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-346?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13463519#comment-13463519 ] 

Avery Ching commented on GIRAPH-346:
------------------------------------

I think this is good, how long does it take to build the formats?  Would be great to have the default build only giraph and then add an option to build the formats, but for commits we could try to build everything.

Would like to hear what others think.

> Most Maven projects that have multiple modules (as we do with main / formats) have a top level pom.xml. This allows you avoid redundancy and also to build everything from top level all at once. I'm using a lot of the formats stuff, especially playing with hive / hcatalog and it's a pain having to constantly compile everything twice.
> So I propose we move all the main code under a subdir, say giraph/ or main/. Then add a pom.xml that both the giraph/ and the formats/ subdirs can point to.
> Note we will still build completely separate jars. If people want to just build giraph-main without formats they can do so directly from the subdirectory.
> Let me know if you guys +1 the idea and I'll whip it up.
