Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-4336:
------------------------------------
I'm giving up the torch on this one, if someone wants to pick it up. The
combination of having other, more pressing stuff and this being a _total
nightmare_ given the dependency interweavings makes it really hard (read: lots
of time, but theoretically doable). I could spend the time if we just wanted to
make two modules - main and security since those are fairly well separated.
Otherwise, I've gotta pass :-/

> Key: HBASE-4336
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4336
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: build
> Reporter: Gary Helmling
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 0.96.0
>
>
> When we originally converted the build to maven we had a single "core" module
> defined, but later reverted this to a module-less build for the sake of
> simplicity.
> It now looks like it's time to re-address this, as we have an actual need for
> modules to:
> * provide a trimmed down "client" library that applications can make use of
> * more cleanly support building against different versions of Hadoop, in
> place of some of the reflection machinations currently required
> * incorporate the secure RPC engine that depends on some secure Hadoop classes
> I propose we start simply by refactoring into two initial modules:
> * core - common classes and utilities, and client-side code and interfaces
> * server - master and region server implementations and supporting code
> This would also lay the groundwork for incorporating the HBase security
> features that have been developed. Once the module structure is in place,
> security-related features could then be incorporated into a third module --
> "security" -- after normal review and approval. The security module could
> then depend on secure Hadoop, without modifying the dependencies of the rest
> of the HBase code.
