Thanks for the responses. Good to know that the only external dependencies are Hadoop and Hbase. We will deploy those components only on boxes which are going to have those sinks set up.

This is because Flume, like most other Hadoop ecosystem components is meant to work against binary incompatible versions of Hadoop (Hadoop-1/Hadoop2). So instead of packaging hadoop jars with Flume, we expect Hadoop to be available on the machines you are running Flume on. Once you install Hadoop you should not have any dependency issues. Same is true for HBase.
