Matt Christiansen commented on KAFKA-854:
-----------------------------------------
I tested out this patch in my local kafka build (im trying to piecemeal
together a 0.8 for some POC work at my company) and it looks great to me. Much
cleaner and the resulting release jars are smaller as they now only have the
dependencies they need (no more hadoop-core in kafka core).
To nit pick it seems like the metrics-annotation dependency isn't needed in any
code and from what I can tell; it also isn't a runtime dependency for
metrics-core.
Also its funny you bring up Maven Scott, I wonder why in most cases Maven isn't
used for scala project like this. It would have a wider audience of people to
maintain it, is more widely known and (to me) makes more sense to how functions
and how projects are laid out in it.
