Sean Owen updated MAHOUT-1338: ------------------------------ Attachment: MAHOUT-1338.patch > Reduce mahout-integration transitive dependencies to avoid JAR hell, version > conflicts > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-1338 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1338 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.8 > Reporter: Sean Owen > Assignee: Sean Owen > Priority: Minor > Attachments: MAHOUT-1338.patch > > > mahout-integration contains bits of client and connector code for a lot of > projects, like Lucene, Cassandra, MongoDB, etc. As such, its transitive > dependencies in Maven pull in quite a lot. > Most of these are unnecessary for any particular user, since probably at most > one client/package is of interest. In fact, mahout-integration is not used by > most users at all. > In the worst case, it causes actual version problems when trying to package > up the transitive dependencies of something depending on Mahout. > I suggest several changes along these lines, all of which are represented in > the attached patch: > 1. Remove direct lucene-core and cassandra-all dependencies, as they are not > necessary > 2. Mark all dependencies like hector, mongodb, etc as optional in Maven > 3. In fact, mark mahout-examples, mahout-buildtools and mahout-integration as > optional with respect to the overall project. > 4. Bonus: update Cassandra client version to pull in slightly newer deps -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
