Istvan Toth commented on HBASE-29024:
-------------------------------------

No. Mainly because it it isĀ 
{code:java}
<optional>true<optional>{code}
Which is usually used for dependencies that are not shipped in the 
library/product, and are expected to be provided externally.

The lack of docs, small size, and being phrased a reference implementation for 
the external block cache also makes it feel more like an example than a 
ready-to-use component to me.

If we want to keep spymemcached in the binary, then should probably remove the 
optional flag, because then it's standard compile time dependecy.
