Scott Carey commented on AVRO-647:
----------------------------------
I'll have time in the first week of November to work on it and produce a patch
to review.
About half the work is shared in both solutions: Splitting up the projects
into directories, moving classes around, keeping track of all the 'svn mv' and
'svn add' commands that will be required. That, in combination with figuring
out some of the more complicated testing bits, is what primarily stalled me.
However, I think I already got past the difficult most difficult parts related
to Requestor/Responder, but I won't know for sure until I try and tie the rest
of it together.
> Break avro.jar into avro.jar, avro-dev.jar and avro-hadoop.jar

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Reporter: Scott Carey
> Assignee: Scott Carey
>
> Our dependencies are starting to get a little complicated on the Java side.
> I propose we build two (possibly more) jars related to our major dependencies
> and functions.
> 1. avro.jar (or perhaps avro-core.jar)
> This contains all of the core avro functionality for _using_ avro as a
> library. This excludes the specific compiler, avro idl, and other build-time
> or development tools, as well as avro packages for third party integration
> such as hadoop. This jar should then have a minimal set of dependencies
> (jackson, jetty, SLF4J ?).
> 2. avro-dev.jar
> This would contain compilers, idl, development tools, etc. Most applications
> will not need this, but build systems and developers will.
> 3. avro-hadoop.jar
> This would contain the hadoop API and possibly pig/hive/whatever related to
> that. This makes it easier for pig/hive/hadoop to consume avro-core without
> circular dependencies.
