Travis Crawford commented on HIVE-2424: --------------------------------------- To make the discussion a bit more concrete, I went ahead and experimented with publishing subproject jars in addition to the existing fat jar. Check out the following branch where I created a new "exec" subproject that produces hive-exec.jar, and where "ql" produces a hive-ql.jar like other sub projects. https://github.com/traviscrawford/hive/compare/HIVE-2424_thin_jars What do y'all think about this approach? It would let existing stuff continue working as-is, while making all Hive classes available for those that for whatever reason need to do something fancy. Thoughts? > Don't expose thrift, commons and json classes in the hive exec jar > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2424 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2424 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build Infrastructure > Reporter: Eli Collins > > The hive exec jar includes exploded thrift, json, and commons lang classes. > These may conflict with the user's classpath. This could be fixed by jar > jaring or using shade. A mechanism that allowed a user to substitute > alternative versions w/o recompiling might be a useful intermediate step > (though will require the user substitute alternative versions that work w/ > Hive). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
