Gabriel Reid commented on PHOENIX-2387:
---------------------------------------

I've looked into making this work with the binary distribution. There are  few 
options, but I don't really like any of them. The big problem is that all the 
transitive testing dependencies are needed in order to start up the sandbox 
(i.e. HBase and HDFS testing jars, along with any other transitive deps that 
they may have). We currently don't deliver these transitive deps as part of the 
binary distribution (which makes sense). The options that I can see are:
* simply don't support the sandbox in the binary distribution (not good because 
it's no good for binary dist users)
* include all the transitive testing dependencies in the binary distribution 
(not good because the binary dist is already big enough as it is, and adding in 
all of these testing deps only for the sandbox doesn't feel right)
* provide some way of downloading the needed testing dependencies via a script, 
pom file, or something like that (not good because it's clunky, error-prone, 
and just not a good user experience)

Does anyone have any better ideas, or opinions on which of the above is the 
lesser evil?

> Traceback (most recent call last):
