David Smiley commented on SOLR-2852:
------------------------------------
Two other points:
* As a general principle, minimizing client libraries/dependencies is a good
thing, especially one that isn't likely to actually be used!
* Most people will assume all libraries in the /dist/solrj-lib/ directory are
required when this one isn't.
* Woodstox is not the only fast implementation; some quick google searches

> SolrJ doesn't need woodstox jar

> Key: SOLR-2852
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-2852
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: clients - java
> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Trivial
>
> The /dist/solrj-lib/ directory contains wstx-asl-3.2.7.jar (Woodstox StAX
> API). SolrJ doesn't actually have any type of dependency on this library.
> The maven build doesn't have it as a dependency and the tests pass. Perhaps
> Woodstox is faster than the JDK's StAX, I don't know, but I find that point
> quite moot since SolrJ can use the efficient binary format. Woodstox is not
> a small library either, weighting in at 524KB, and of course if someone
> actually wants to use it, they can.
> I propose woodstox be removed as a SolrJ dependency. I am *not* proposing it
> be removed as a Solr WAR dependency since it is actually required there due
> to an obscure XSLT issue.
