@StephanEwen @rmetzger, as I revisit this, I'm still questioning the
viability of shading an uber jar. For example, a user depending on a Kafka
connector. Normally the dependency would be packaged in the user's uber jar.
Instead, the user could mark the dependency as provided and copy the connector
jar into `lib/`. If the user makes use of any transitive dependencies (as I
assume Kafka class would be used) then because of the shading would not the
user be required to add Kafka as a dependency to their pom?
