Move away from jruby; build our shell elsewise either on another foundation or
build up our own
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3375
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3375
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Components: shell
Reporter: stack
JRuby has been sullied; its been shipping *GPL jars with a while now. A hack
up to remove these jars is being done elsewhere (HBASE-3374). This issue is
about casting our shell anew atop a foundation that is other than JRuby or
writing a shell of our own from scratch.
JRuby has gotten us this far. It provides a shell and it also was used
scripting HBase. It would be nice if we could get scripting and shell in the
redo.
Apart from the licensing issue above and that the fix will be reverting our
JRuby to a version that is no longer supported and that is old, other reasons
to move off JRuby are that while its nice having ruby to hand when scripting,
the JRuby complete jar is 10 or more MB in size. Its bloated at least from our
small shell perspective.
