Hello Chris, + [email protected] as that is a better place to discuss such questions.
They were built as part of the release and published to the Apache repository ( Maven central mirrors the jars published to it ). They can be used if you are trying to build something against the Tez APIs. To verify authenticity, these jars have been signed with one of the pgp keys of the folks in the Tez Project PMC ( Any release will be signed using one of the pgp keys from the KEYS file available at https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/tez/KEYS ) That said, you will need the tez tarball to deploy/run Tez and that is not published hence the need to compile locally. This should be addressed in one of the next releases as we sort out the correct licensing information for each and every jar within the tarball (TEZ-2592) as well as addressing how to provide different bits for different versions of hadoop. thanks -- Hitesh On Dec 4, 2015, at 7:42 AM, Chris Kilding <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello there, > > We are looking to use Apache Tez in some of our projects and we notice that > there are precompiled JARs for its various components up on Maven Central, > like this one: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/tez/tez/0.7.0/. > > However the project README specifically says that the project does not ship > compiled JARs and that users should compile it from source. > > Do you know who (or what) builds these Tez JARs for Maven Central?
