@v3nkatesh allow me to give some context around why we are strict around guava.. Hudi as you know has to be dropped under many different services (hive/spark/presto,...) and guava as universal it is, presents a jar conflict nightmare... On the re-using code itself, i know we have done this in few places in the past. but, this often leads to maintenance issues more often than not... we change the re-used code, people fix the original code.. and overtime we don't invest in getting upstream bug fixes etc.. So for small stuff like this, I prefer that we write it ourselves.. Is this the original [code](https://github.com/google/guava/blob/master/guava/src/com/google/common/util/concurrent/RateLimiter.java) ? I would say if we are trimming down that file and using some parts verbatim, we are still reusing code.. (which I think is what we are doing) The act of adding new things to LICENSE/NOTICE is not that straightforward, given we don't have an entry for guava yet.. We need to examine, guava's NOTICE, its dependencies etc.. I thought, even for you, just writing a small class and being done would be a better use of time? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
