------------------------------------
This is great [~nitay]. Can you please write down the instructions for this
somewhere so we know how to do this in the future?
> Improve Facebook Hadoop dependency

> Key: GIRAPH-545
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GIRAPH-545
> Project: Giraph
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Nitay Joffe

>
> 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.
