-------------------------------------
Summary: Inconsistent library versions notice.
Key: HBASE-23916
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-23916
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Kaifeng Huang
Attachments: apache hbase.pdf
Hi. I have implemented a tool to detect library version inconsistencies. Your
project have 1 inconsistent library.
Take junit:junit for example, this library is declared as version 4.13 in
hbase-rest, 4.12 in hbase-archetypes/hbase-shaded-client-project and etc...
Such version inconsistencies may cause unnecessary maintenance effort in the
long run. For example, if two modules become inter-dependent, library version
conflict may happen. It has already become a common issue and hinders
development progress. Thus a version harmonization is necessary.
Provided we applied a version harmonization, I calculated the cost it may have
to harmonize to all upper versions including an up-to-date one. The cost refers
to POM config changes and API invocation changes. Take junit:junit for example,
if we harmonize all the library versions into 4.13-beta-1. The concern is, how
much should the project code adapt to the newer library version. We list an
effort table to quantify the harmonization cost.
The effort table is listed below. It shows the overall harmonization effort by
modules. The columns represents the number of library APIs and API
calls(NA,NAC), deleted APIs and API calls(NDA,NDAC) as well as modified API and
API calls(NMA,NMAC). Modified APIs refers to those APIs whose call graph is not
the same as previous version. Take the first row for example, if upgrading the
library into version 4.13-beta-1. Given that 1375 APIs is used in module
hbase-server, 0 of them is deleted in a recommended version(which will throw a
NoMethodFoundError unless re-compiling the project), 1 of them is regarded as
modified which could break the former API contract.
||Index||Module||NA(NAC)||NDA(NDAC)||NMA(NMAC)||
|1|hbase-server|1375(4528)|0(0)|1(1)|
|2|hbase-common|143(547)|0(0)|0(0)|
|3|hbase-mapreduce|108(389)|0(0)|0(0)|
|4|..|..|..|..|
Also we provided another table to show the potential files that may be affected
due to library API change, which could help to spot the concerned API usage and
rerun the test cases. The table is listed below.
||Module||File||Type||API||
|hbase-it|hbase-it/src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/mttr/IntegrationTestMTTR.java|modify|org.junit.Assume.assumeFalse(boolean)|
|hbase-archetypes/hbase-shaded-client-project|hbase-archetypes/hbase-shaded-client-project/src/test/java/org/apache/hbase/archetypes/exemplars/shaded_client/TestHelloHBase.java|modify|org.junit.Assert.assertEquals(java.lang.String,java.lang.Object,java.lang.Object)|
|hbase-server|hbase-server/src/test/java/org/apache/hadoop/hbase/regionserver/wal/TestHBaseWalOnEC.java|modify|org.junit.Assume.assumeNoException(java.lang.String,java.lang.Throwable)|
|4|..|..|..|
