@zhangminglei You are right, the dependencies should have been excluded
back then. But better to fix later than never ;-)
For the dependencies to exclude, it is hard to find that out. I was mainly
guessing, to be honest, thinking that an HBase client should not need a REST PI
framework (jersey) or J2EE server (tomcat) as a dependency.---
