Hi Flume Community, It has come up a couple of times that we should fully remove (or at least shade) Guava from Flume, but unfortunately it's part of our public API [1,2,3]. As a first step I worked on FLUME-2957 [4] and created a pull request [5]. Mike has already reviewed it, thanks for that. As he pointed out it is a breaking change thus it can be included in Flume 2.0 release only.
Flume 2.0 will be a good opportunity to introduce other breaking changes as well, so we might want to start collecting the features, improvements, other possible changes. What do you think?
