Todd Lipcon commented on PIG-924:
---------------------------------
bq. If existing deployments need a single pig.jar without a hadoop dependency,
it might be possible to create a new target (pig-all) that would create a
statically bundled jar; but I think the default behavior should be to not
bundle, build all the shims, and use whatever hadoop is on the path.
+1 for making the default to *not* bundle hadoop inside pig.jar, and adding
another non-default target for those people who might want it.
bq. The current patch is written as is so that it can be applied to trunk,
enabling people to compile statically, and only require a change to the ant
build files to switch to a dynamic compile later on (after 0.4, probably)
>From the packager's perspective, I'd love if this change could get in for 0.4.
>If it doesn't, we'll end up applying the patch ourselves for packaging
>purposes - we need to have the hadoop dependency be on the user's installed
>hadoop, not on whatever happened to get bundled into pig.jar.
> Make Pig work with multiple versions of Hadoop

> The current Pig build scripts package hadoop and other dependencies into the
> pig.jar file.
> This means that if users upgrade Hadoop, they also need to upgrade Pig.
> Pig has relatively few dependencies on Hadoop interfaces that changed between
> 18, 19, and 20. It is possibly to write a dynamic shim that allows Pig to
> use the correct calls for any of the above versions of Hadoop. Unfortunately,
> the building process precludes us from the ability to do this at runtime, and
> forces an unnecessary Pig rebuild even if dynamic shims are created.
