Re: Time to address the Guava version problem

2014-10-13 Thread Steve Loughran
I've a patch for HADOOP-11102 which rolls curator back to v 2.4.1, which
only pulls in Guava 14...hadoop should now be weakly consistent -at least
not strongly inconsistent- in its guava versions.

allowing hadoop to work on 16.x while still remaining compatible with 11.x
is still something to work on -there's some patches there already

Re: Time to address the Guava version problem

2014-09-19 Thread Sangjin Lee
I would also agree on upgrading guava. Yes I am aware of the potential
impact on customers who might rely on hadoop bringing in guava 11. However,
IMHO the balance tipped over to the other side a while ago; i.e. I think
there are far more people using guava 16 in their code and scrambling to
make things work than the other way around.

 I know we've been ignoring the Guava version problem, but HADOOP-10868
 added a transitive dependency on Guava 16 by way of Curator 2.6.

 Maven currently forces the build to use Guava 11.0.2, but this is hiding at
 compile timeall code paths from curator which may use classes  methods
 that aren't there.

 I need curator for my own work (2.4.1  Guava 14.0 was what I'd been
 using), so don't think we can go back.

 HADOOP-11102 covers the problem -but doesn't propose a specific solution.
 But to me the one that seems most likely to work is: update Guava
