Some of the tools use the driver, and there is some reliance on classes for user defined types that come from the driver. I suppose ideally these would get split out into a cassandra-common.jar, or such.

"Shaded" in this case means that the jar contains code from netty, but the package structure is changed so that there are no conflicts with a real netty jar.

Hello list,
why is datastax java-driver so tightly fixed to the cassandra base?
Is there any reason to have it as a shaded dependency?
And what even a shaded dependency is?

I'd be glad for any response.

Thanks Tomas
