Scott Carey commented on AVRO-1213:
-----------------------------------
Optional is OK for now for Jetty, and Netty. The use can choose which they
want. Optional may require changing avro-tools' pom to declare those, and
we'll need to document the change. I'd say it would need to wait until 1.8.0
because upgrading would break current projects, and there is a work-around for
users now to exclude jetty and/or the servlet downstream dependencies in their
pom.
Longer term, we could break up IPC into more modules, one for HTTP RPC and
another for socket, since the two have very different downstream dependencies.
> Dependency on Jetty Servlet API in IPC

> Key: AVRO-1213
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1213
> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Affects Versions: 1.7.2
> Reporter: Sharmarke Aden
> Priority: Minor
>
> The compile scoped dependency on jetty servlet-api in the IPC pom file can be
> problematic if using Avro in a webapp environment. Would it be possible to
> make this dependency either optional or provided? Or maybe Avro modularize
> into sub-modules in such a way that desired features can be assembled
> piecemeal?
