-----------------------------

unnecessary dependency.
Target Version/s: 2.8.0
Status: Resolved (was: Patch Available)
Resolving this jira as all the subtasks are completed. Thanks everyone for the

> Currently the hadoop-hdfs jar contain both the hdfs server and the hdfs
> client. As discussed in the hdfs-dev mailing list
> (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hadoop-hdfs-dev/201404.mbox/browser),
> downstream projects are forced to bring in additional dependency in order to
> access hdfs. The additional dependency sometimes can be difficult to manage
> for projects like Apache Falcon and Apache Oozie.
> This jira proposes to create a new project, hadoop-hdfs-cliient, which
> contains the client side of the hdfs code. Downstream projects can use this
> jar instead of the hadoop-hdfs to avoid unnecessary dependency.
> Note that it does not break the compatibility of downstream projects. This is
> because old downstream projects implicitly depend on hadoop-hdfs-client
> through the hadoop-hdfs jar.
