Enis Soztutar commented on HBASE-18391:
---------------------------------------
The C++ client project (HBASE-14850) uses mainly 3 libraries from Facebook:
- https://github.com/facebook/folly/
- https://github.com/facebook/wangle/
- https://github.com/facebook/buck
There is already a lot of code in the branch HBASE-14850 that uses these three,
and the intention is to merge the branch into master soon.
Folly and Buck already have Apache 2 license, however, wangle has the
"BSD+Patents" license. Our buck dependency is fully optional, and can be
removed really easy. Folly and wangle are not that easy to remove. We use
wangle as a netty replacement to do async socket IO + async RPC pipelines.
Removing wangle at this point means that we have to re-implement this async
socket + RPC layer on top of another framework which is a lot of work. Let me
create an issue in wangle to see whether they are open to re-licensing as has
been done for RocksDB and React.
> List the stuffs which are using the patent grant license (PATENTS file) of
> Facebook; And then discuss and remove them.
