Hi folks, Even as 2.3 was released, several dependencies of hadoop are quite dated. And more and more of them are causing friction for hadoop-related libraries and hadoop users in general, as these dependency versions are often incompatibly different than the versions most people use these days. So this is becoming a very real problem, if not one already.
Some key ones include - guava: 11.0.2 (current 16.0.1) - jetty: 6.1.26 (current 9.1.3) - commons-lang: 2.6 (current 3.3.1) In particular, guava is already causing a lot of issues as many developers have moved onto a newer version and are using APIs that do not exist in 11.0.2, and get NoSuchMethodErrors and such. Also, for jetty, 6.1.26 has been EOFed for some time now. Do we have a plan to review some of these dependencies and upgrade them to reasonably up-to-date versions? I remember seeing some JIRAs on specific dependencies, but has a review been done to determine a good set of versions to upgrade to? It would be great if we could upgrade some of the more common ones at least to modern versions. Thanks, Sangjin
