Our jruby jar has *GPL jars in it; fix
--------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3374
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3374
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: stack
Priority: Blocker
Fix For: 0.90.0
The latest JRuby's complete jar bundles *GPL jars (JNA and JFFI among others).
It looks like the functionality we depend on -- the shell in particular --
makes use of these dirty jars so they are hard to strip. They came in because
we (I!) just updated our JRuby w/o checking in on what updates contained.
JRuby has been doing this for a while now (1.1.x added the first LGPL). You
have to go all the ways back to the original HBase checkin, HBASE-487, of JRuby
-- 1.0.3 -- to get a JRuby w/o *GPL jars.
Plan is to try and revert our JRuby all the ways down to 1.0.3 before shipping
0.90.0. Thats what this issue is about.
We should also look into moving off JRuby in the medium to long-term. Its
kinda awkward sticking on an old version that is no longer supported. I'll
open an issue for that.
