Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-2936: ------------------------------------------- Agreed. JDBC shouldn't need to care about sorting the columns, only presenting them back to the caller. > improve dependency situation between JDBC driver and Cassandra > -------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-2936 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2936 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: API, Core > Affects Versions: 0.8.1 > Reporter: Eric Evans > Priority: Minor > Labels: cql > > The JDBC jar currently depends on the {{apache-cassandra-$version}} jar, > despite the fact that it only (directly) uses a handful of Cassandra's > classes. In a perfect world, we'd break those classes out into their own jar > which both the JDBC driver and Cassandra (ala > {{apache-cassandra-$version.jar}}) could depend on. However, the classes > used directly don't fall out to anything that makes much sense > organizationally (short of creating a > {{apache-cassandra-misc-$version.jar}}), and the situation only gets worse > when you take into account all of the transitive dependencies. > See CASSANDRA-2761 for more background, in particular > ([this|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2761?focusedCommentId=13048734&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13048734] > and > [this|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-2761?focusedCommentId=13050884&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-13050884]) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
