-----------------------------------
Summary: Discuss license issue with javax.cache library
Key: HADOOP-14763
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-14763
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 3.0.0-beta1
Reporter: Ray Chiang
With YARN Federation, we added YARN-3672, which adds the following to
{noformat}
<groupId>javax.cache</groupId>
<artifactId>cache-api</artifactId>
{noformat}
This third-party library has some murky license history, as documented in this
[really long comment thread|https://github.com/jsr107/jsr107spec/issues/333].
The summary of the thread is that "the library is officially APL (take our word
for it), but there hasn't been a subsequent release with the license file
change".
LEGAL-325 has been filed to discuss the validity of this license for Apache.
Before we get to final Hadoop 3 release, I'm wondering if anyone else has
concerns about using this library. Just from looking at the various javax
Maven artifacts in our pom.xml files, I see a lot of other javax.* library
entries (although we may not ship the .jars if they're part of the Java
runtime).
