Mavenize Hadoop Snappy JAR/SOs project dependencies
---------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-3873
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3873
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Affects Versions: 0.90.2
Environment: Linux
Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
Assignee: Alejandro Abdelnur
(This JIRA builds on HBASE-3691)
I'm working on simplifying how to use Hadoop Snappy from other based maven
projects. The idea is that hadoop-snappy JAR and the SOs (snappy and
hadoop-snappy) would be picked up from a Maven repository (like any other
dependencies). SO files will be picked up based on the architecture where the
build is running (32 or 64 bits).
For Hbase this would remove the need to manually copy snappy JAR and SOs
(snappy and hadoop-snappy) into HADOOP_HOME/lib or HBASE_HOME/lib and
hadoop-snappy would be handled as a regular maven dependency (with a trick for
the SOs file).
The changes would affect only the pom.xml and the would be in a 'snappy'
profile, thus requiring '-Dsnappy' option in Maven invocations to trigger the
including of snappy JAR and SOs.
Because hadoop-snappy (JAR and SOs) are not currently avail in public Maven
repos, until that happens, Hbase developer would have to checkout and 'mvn
install' hadoop-snappy. Which is (IMO) simpler than what will have to be done
in once HBASE-3691 is committed.
