----------------------------------
Summary: Reconsider Google Guava dependency
Key: SOLR-3601
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3601
Project: Solr
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: David Smiley
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 4.0
Google Guava is a cool Java library with lots of useful stuff in it. But note
that the old version r05 that we have is 935kb in size and FWIW the latest v12
is 1.8MB. Despite its usefulness, Solr (core) is not actually using it aside
for a trivial case in org.apache.solr.logging.jul to get a string from a
Throwable. And I'm using it in my uncommitted patch for Solr adapters to the
Lucene module. The Clustering contrib module definitely needs it. This
dependency to Solr core seems half-hearted and I suspect it may have been
inadvertent during improvements to the Clustering contrib module at some point.
Shall we get rid of this dependency to Solr core, and push it back to the
contrib module? I like Guava, I want to use it in my work, but the reality is
that Solr core doesn't even touch 1% of it.
