Doug Cutting commented on AVRO-647:
-----------------------------------
I finally had a chance to try this. It worries me that a bunch of tests don't
pass. I'll try to have a look more at these after the weekend. Once we get
tests passing then we should perhaps just commit this and then work hard to
clean up the remaining issues ASAP afterwards. Scott, will you have time in
the next few weeks to devote to this? I can work on it, but I'm a Maven newbie.

> 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.
