Hi Dominik, nice assessment of the issue: in the version of the cassandra-driver we use there is even a comment about why:
----
try {
// prevent this string from being shaded
Class.forName(String.format("%s.%s.channel.Channel", "io", "netty"));
shaded = false;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
try {
Class.forName("com.datastax.shaded.netty.channel.Channel");
shaded = true;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e1) {
throw new AssertionError("Cannot locate Netty classes in the
classpath:" + e1);
}
}
----
@Chesnay: Should we instead shade into datastax' namespace as shown?
This would also make sure to follow the shaded path in that class which,
for example, deactivates epoll.
