Stefan Miklosovic commented on CASSANDRA-18624:
-----------------------------------------------
Maybe little explanation why I think it should be done like that would help.
1) the current patch wants to introduce dependency with x86 classifier to the
build
2) why only x86? What if a user is on ARM?
3) so lets add aarch dependency too!
4) how are we supposed to make the difference / to distinguish what dependency
is going to be used when both are on the class path? Which one would take
precedence over which one? What happens when put two dependencies with
different qualifier to libs directory?
For all these reasons, the solution is to not put there any dependency at all.
A user has to do that himself because he knows what architecture that Cassandra
node is running on - we can not know that.
Hence the course of action for such users would be:
1) They put the correct (architecture specific jar) to libs dir
2) They put the implementation of ICryptoProvider to a jar which they put to
libs dir
3) They configure yaml to specify the implementation in 2) for crypto_provider
I know this is a little bit unfortunate but I do not see any (easy) way out of
this. The resolution of which library to put on the class path based on what
architecture that node runs on ... that is very tricky and error-prone. Not a
good approach I would say.
