The immediate issue is having two mutually exclusive artifacts: tez-yarn-timeline-history and tez-yarn-timeline-history
outside of ATSHistoryACLPolicyManager, the code is identical. just the dependencies are changed. TezClient attempts to load this Manager, under the assumption if it exists, it is running on hadoop 2.6. (running on 2.4 is fatal) My recommendation would be never to change artifact names (or conditionally choose them) inside of major releases, but accreting new, optional, ones as versions progress is fine. thus I would either: create a single artifact tez-yarn-timeline-history compiled with a default dep of hadoop 2.6, that includes the Manager. update the TezClient code to gracefully fail if the Manager is not applicable (the runtime env is Hadoop 2.4). or offer tez-yarn-timeline-history-with-acls as an optional artifact for Hadoop 2.6 deployments, with the single Manager class in it, which in turn requires the tez-yarn-timeline-history artifact -- which is sufficient for a 2.4 runtime. if the user provides the additional -with-acls artifact, they are knowingly going to have problems on Hadoop 2.4. I prefer the first as it keeps my build file simple. graceful degradation of services per environment (with appropriate logging) is a well accepted practice. and you can now test Tez across multiple versions Hadoop/Yarn at runtime (outside of compile time). we do this with Cascading, just simple build file modifications to verify binary compatibility (vendors fork this repo to verify their distributions, and been known to find critical bugs): https://github.com/Cascading/cascading.compatibility ckw > On Feb 26, 2015, at 11:03 AM, Hitesh Shah <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi folks, > > Chris raised a good point earlier in terms of publishing jars for use against > different versions of hadoop.
