----------------------------------
Summary: Fat jar option for build, or override for ivy cache
location
Key: KAFKA-733
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-733
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: packaging
Affects Versions: 0.8
Reporter: Dave DeMaagd
Need some kind of self-contained mechanism for running kafka to get around the
following:
1) The location of the source checkout/build is not necessarily the same place
where it will be running (the build location and that user's ivy cache dir)
potentially leading to sync problems (forgetting the ivy dir) or just adding
overhead to the deployment process (additional steps to remember introduces
more chances for mistakes)
2) The user running the kafka service in a production setting may not even have
a real home directory
Think something like a 'fat jar' packaging (something that contains all
necessary jar versions in one convenient place) would simplify deployment and
reduce the chance for error (only one lib package to worry about, and it
contains everything needed) and would be a little more production friendly
