Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on HADOOP-11656:
--------------------------------------------------
bq. I thought we still exposed our users to framework classes, we just gave
them the option of inserting a classloader that can load their classes in
preference to ours. Users are still left by default with all of our transitive
dependencies present.
Yes. It is both clients and MR runtime (which is client from YARN's
perspective, that's why I called it so). For addressing these, I proposed
classloader fix/shading for those JARs - there is work left to do.
bq. Classloader isolation & shading isn't going to be sufficient here.
HADOOP-11127 proposes some versioning, which will help
Agreed, let's link it here.
> Classpath isolation for downstream clients

> Key: HADOOP-11656
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11656
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Sean Busbey
> Labels: classloading, classpath, dependencies
>
> Currently, Hadoop exposes downstream clients to a variety of third party
> libraries. As our code base grows and matures we increase the set of
> libraries we rely on. At the same time, as our user base grows we increase
> the likelihood that some downstream project will run into a conflict while
> attempting to use a different version of some library we depend on. This has
> already happened with i.e. Guava several times for HBase, Accumulo, and Spark
> (and I'm sure others).
> While YARN-286 and MAPREDUCE-1700 provided an initial effort, they default to
> off and they don't do anything to help dependency conflicts on the driver
> side or for folks talking to HDFS directly. This should serve as an umbrella
> for changes needed to do things thoroughly on the next major version.
> We should ensure that downstream clients
> 1) can depend on a client artifact for each of HDFS, YARN, and MapReduce that
> doesn't pull in any third party dependencies
> 2) only see our public API classes (or as close to this as feasible) when
> executing user provided code, whether client side in a launcher/driver or on
> the cluster in a container or within MR.
> This provides us with a double benefit: users get less grief when they want
> to run substantially ahead or behind the versions we need and the project is
> freer to change our own dependency versions because they'll no longer be in
> our compatibility promises.
> Project specific task jiras to follow after I get some justifying use cases
> written in the comments.
