Gwen Shapira created KAFKA-3250: ----------------------------------- Summary: release tarball is unnecessarily large due to duplicate libraries Key: KAFKA-3250 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-3250 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Gwen Shapira
Between 0.8.2.2 and 0.9.0, our release tarballs grew from 17M to 34M. We thought it is just due to new libraries and dependencies. But: 1. If you untar Kafka into a directory and check the directory size (du -sh), it is around 28M, smaller than the tarball. Recompressing give you 25M tarball. 2. If you list the original tar contents and grep for "snappy", you see it 4 times in the tarball. Clearly we are creating a tarball with duplicates (and we didn't before). I think its due to how we are generating the tarball from core but pull in other projects into libs/ directory with their dependencies (which overlap). We need to find out how to sort it out (possibly with excludes). -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
