Dave DeMaagd commented on KAFKA-733:
------------------------------------
KAFKA-733-2.patch (attached in a moment) removes the 'additional' dependency -
com.eed3si9n/sbt-assembly is already there (the second instance is removed in
the patch), so in effect all the patch is doing is configuring the existing
dep.
As for the zk client libs - I will have to defer to someone else on the right
handling of it (someone with more familiarity with the code level differences
between them).
> Fat jar option for build, or override for ivy cache location

> Need some kind of self-contained mechanism for running kafka to get around
> the following:
> 1) The location of the source checkout/build is not necessarily the same
> place where it will be running (the build location and that user's ivy cache
> dir) potentially leading to sync problems (forgetting the ivy dir) or just
> adding overhead to the deployment process (additional steps to remember
> introduces more chances for mistakes)
> 2) The user running the kafka service in a production setting may not even
> have a real home directory
> Think something like a 'fat jar' packaging (something that contains all
> necessary jar versions in one convenient place) would simplify deployment and
> reduce the chance for error (only one lib package to worry about, and it
> contains everything needed) and would be a little more production friendly
