Julian Hyde commented on HBASE-17908:
-------------------------------------
Even a little - moving up to 14.0.1 - would be good. Hive is up to 14.0.1 (see
HIVE-13045) and Calcite supports a range from 14.0.1 to 21. An old version of
Guava that used to be bearable a year ago now becomes more and more painful for
HBase's dependencies.

> Project: HBase

> Reporter: Balazs Meszaros
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.0.0

>
> Currently we are using guava 12.0.1, but the latest version is 21.0.
> Upgrading guava is always a hassle because it is not always backward
> compatible with itself.
> Currently I think there are to approaches:
> 1. Upgrade guava to the newest version (21.0) and shade it.
> 2. Upgrade guava to a version which does not break or builds (15.0).
> If we can update it, some dependencies should be removed:
> commons-collections, commons-codec, ...
