You are looking at the "runtime" jars, the non-runtime jars are not shaded. For example
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.iceberg/iceberg-spark2/0.11.1 <https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.iceberg/iceberg-spark2/0.11.1> - Unshaded vs https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.iceberg/iceberg-spark-runtime/0.11.1 <https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.apache.iceberg/iceberg-spark-runtime/0.11.1> - Shaded So as is you can actually get unshaded versions of all Iceberg libraries with every release. If you want to use unshaded libraries they are available. Now you may ;) be using a Spark distribution which includes a shaded version of Iceberg at runtime. In that case you should reach out to the providers of that runtime and ask them if they can figure out another solution for you. > On May 26, 2021, at 11:48 AM, Pavan Lanka <pla...@apple.com.INVALID> wrote: > > Hi, > > Currently I see that Iceberg shades > <https://github.com/apache/iceberg/blob/master/build.gradle#L894> a bunch of > libraries and does not offer(please correct me in case I am mistaken here) > any releases that does not shade these libraries. > > For some integrations (Avro, ORC, Parquet) I was wondering if we would be > open to the idea of supporting both a shaded version and an unshaded version. > > The unshaded version will allow us to deal with bug fixes and compatible > improvements without necessitating an Iceberg build.
