---------------------------------------
Hi Bruno,
You are right. There are easier ways for users of Kafka jars by excluding
rocksdb and including only the platform-specific jar in their builds.
I intended to present this as an alternative for developers of Kafka itself,
as well as organizations and individuals who maintain forked branches or
distributions of Apache Kafka. Not everyone necessarily requires a
platform-independent jar, and they might find value in a more compact jar/RPM.
Thank you for bringing up this point though. If there isn't much value in
reducing the RPM size (I expect a reduction of ~40MBs based on the platform
selected) I am okay to close this ticket.

> RocksDBJNI uber jar is currently at ~58MBs.
> There are smaller platform-specific jars available for RocksDB.
> This ticket is created to allow developers to choose platform-specific
> RocksDB jar via build arguments, which is much smaller and can considerably
> reduce the generated RPM size.
