Scott Carey commented on AVRO-647:
----------------------------------
Looks good, more clear than mine.
There is one error however. It turns out that I forgot to make avro-tools.jar
include all of its dependencies. But, I think it makes sense to leave that
alone and make another jar for this purpose, as discussed at AVRO-663.
In that case, the documentation for avro-tools.jar should not contain "Embeds
Avro components and dependencies" but should say "Depends on all other Avro
jars".
> Break avro.jar into avro.jar, avro-dev.jar and avro-hadoop.jar

> 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.
