László Bodor updated TEZ-4300:
------------------------------
Description:
Currently, Tez cannot be built out of the box because tez-api needs a protobuf
compiler (protoc executable), which was also a problematic dependency in a
sense that downloading/installing it is a burden on developers. Even if we have
tons of
[gists|https://gist.github.com/abstractdog/1eddeac9cc09815ded5253e3a83293a8]
for that, it's still uncomfortable. Not to mention if we want to support more
versions at the same time.
Shipping the typically used versions (2.5.0, 3.x for later) of the protoc
executable could make sense, but I'm not sure at the moment if it has any
license issues, also it's not general. An intelligent script could do it for
developers.
For 2.5, it should be done from source:
https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/tag/v2.5.0
But for newer versions, the protoc executable can be downloaded from the
releases page: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/tag/v3.7.1
> Download protoc automatically compile/development time
