Ioannis Canellos commented on HELIX-70:
---------------------------------------

An issue I see, is that helix is using zookeeper packages that are not exported 
by the official zookeeper bundle:

org.apache.zookeeper.commons,
org.apache.zookeeper.server.persistence,
org.apache.zookeeper.server.util
org.apache.zookeeper.txn

The first package is just using a utility method, so that could easily move 
inside helix itself and get rid of that dependency. For the rest we have a few 
options, like:

i) Import them as optional packages. Users that need to use classes that 
require those packages will have to find a modified zk bundle.
ii) Embed those as private packages. This means that they will end up inside 
the helix-core jar.
iii) Leave helix core as is and just provide a helix uberbundle that will 
contain, helix-core, zookeeper & zookeeper client.

Since, the zookeeper client is not a valid osgi bundle option (iii) while not 
ideal might solve 2 issues at once.
