Jungtaek Lim updated STORM-2689:
--------------------------------
Issue Type: Improvement (was: Bug)
> storm-kafka-examples and storm-kafka-client-examples are difficult for new
> users to run
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: STORM-2689
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2689
> Project: Apache Storm
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: examples
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0, 1.1.1
> Reporter: Stig Rohde Døssing
> Assignee: Stig Rohde Døssing
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
> Time Spent: 2h 20m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> The storm-kafka-examples and storm-kafka-client-examples projects configure
> their dependencies in a way that makes them difficult to run for a new user.
> The other example projects set up a provided dependency on storm-client, and
> otherwise include all their dependencies in a shaded jar.
> storm-kafka(-client) by default produce jars without several necessary
> dependencies, e.g. the Kafka client libraries. The provided.scope Maven
> parameter was intended to be used to allow users to produce a shaded jar with
> all dependencies, but if provided scope is set to compile, the resulting jar
> will also contain storm-client. This prevents the jar from running on a real
> cluster.
> While users can work around this by producing the slim jar and using
> --artifacts when submitting the topology, this is unnecessarily tedious. We
> should just produce a fat jar by default, then mention in the example
> documentation that --artifacts is there for users that want to make slimmer
> jars.
> Edit:
> This issue now includes simplifying storm-kafka-examples and
> storm-kafka-client-examples in general. The examples demonstrate use of State
> and DRPC when the focus should be on how to use storm-kafka(-client). It also
> causes the modules to have some undesirable dependencies, e.g. they both
> depend on storm-starter.
