Hi devs, The background comes from a historical pull request[1]. In the pull request I proposed replacing
com.github.igor-petruk.protobuf:protobuf-maven-plugin with org.xolstice.maven.plugins:protobuf-maven-plugin so that our users as well as developers get rid of taking care of system protoc location, but let the plugin auto-downloading and manage it. At that moment it seems we didn't reach a consensus so this time I'd start a discussion first. Hadoop and many other projects have done the migration and it seems an unfriendly user experience if we keep current plugin that forces users to manager their protoc. Looking forward to your feedback! Best, tison. [1] https://github.com/Tencent/TubeMQ/pull/121
