----------------------------------
Summary: Improve Facebook Hadoop dependency
Key: GIRAPH-545
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-545
Project: Giraph
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Nitay Joffe
Assignee: Nitay Joffe
Attachments: GIRAPH-545.patch
The Facebook Hadoop dependency uses a local path (systemPath in maven) which is
bad for many reasons. See e.g.
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Dependency+Scopes (the part about
system scope). Amongst the problems are:
- We package the jar ourselves in our lib/ folder
- Anyone depending on Giraph needs to download jars themselves and put them in
right place, but we don't supply the jars.
- There is no javadoc or sources jar which comes with most open source maven
projects and is really handy
So I went ahead and created a package from Facebook's code on Github and
published the jar to maven central. This diff updates our code to use that,
which fixes all of the problems mentioned above.
