Alejandro Abdelnur commented on MAPREDUCE-3378: ----------------------------------------------- About repackaging multiple JARs into a single one, I see the following issues with this: * Developers unknowingly adding (other versions) of the grouped JARs to the classpath. * AFAIK there is not POM for the aggregate JARs with all the correct dependencies. IMO the root issue is that we are not using dependencies correctly. There should be a hadoop-client that allows me to code and run HDFS/MR client apps (with the exact set of transitive dependencies, ie you don't need jetty stuff there). There should be a hadoop-test that allows me to run run HDFS/MR minicluster for integration testing. The fact that under the hood these 'hadoop-client' & 'hadoop-test' component pull 1 or 100 hadoop JARs is irrelevant (although IMO I think we have too many JARs). > Create a single 'hadoop-mapreduce' Maven artifact > ------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-3378 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-3378 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Affects Versions: 0.23.0 > Reporter: Tom White > Attachments: MAPREDUCE-3378.patch > > > In 0.23.0 there are multiple artifacts (hadoop-mapreduce-client-app, > hadoop-mapreduce-client-common, hadoop-mapreduce-client-core, etc).
