-----------------------------------
Summary: Document things to consider / document when changing
dependencies
Key: HBASE-18680
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-18680
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Task
Components: community, documentation
Reporter: Sean Busbey
While reviewing HBASE-18674 ("upgrade hbase to commons-lang 3"), I realized
that my questions are the same as I'd give for any dependency change. We should
try to update our docs to proactively push folks on checking whenever a
dependency changes (paraphrased):
{quote}
# What's the license of the direct dependency overall?
# Does it contain parts that are under a different license (esp if the overall
is ALv2)?
# If it is ALv2 does it contain a NOTICE file? If so, do we need to update our
NOTICE file based on it?
# Does it change the set of transitive dependencies? If so, apply the same
questions above to that set of changes.
