Gang Wu updated AVRO-4095: -------------------------- Description: I have been integrating the AVRO C++ library into our proprietary query engine via conan. I have to maintain my own copy of the upstream [https://github.com/conan-io/conan-center-index/blob/master/recipes/libavrocpp/all/conanfile.py] to work around the boost dependency. In addition, I'm also working on a brand new [Iceberg C++ library|https://github.com/apache/iceberg-cpp] and need to integrate with AVRO C++ too. I found that preparing boost dependency requires a lot of work. As the AVRO C++ library is already on C++ 17, is it possible to get rid of the boost dependency at least in the non-test header and source files? It might involves a lot of work. I can do that if this is something that worth doing. Remaining includes: * boost/algorithm/string.hpp * boost/algorithm/string/replace.hpp * boost/asio/buffer.hpp * boost/blank.hpp * boost/crc.hpp * boost/function.hpp * boost/iostreams/device/file.hpp * boost/iostreams/filter/gzip.hpp * boost/iostreams/filter/zlib.hpp * boost/iostreams/filtering_stream.hpp * boost/lexical_cast.hpp * boost/math/special_functions/fpclassify.hpp * boost/mprogram_options.hpp * boost/random/mersenne_twister.hpp * boost/shared_array.hpp * boost/shared_ptr.hpp * boost/static_assert.hpp * boost/utility.hpp was:I have been integrating the AVRO C++ library into our proprietary query engine via conan.
