Hi Tom Ranger plugins are libraries/jars that are loaded within the component process. Since some of the libraries used by Ranger might be of different versions than used by the components, it might cause conflict. Having the shim classes, help us to isolate the libraries both ways. The shim classes are invoked by the component, which internally calls the Ranger plugins in different class loader.
Hope this helps.
