Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-2723:
--------------------------------------
I re-checked using maven's dependency:tree instead of just looking at the
resulting jars, and Pig doesn't actually use JSON.org (I confirmed by looking
at the Pig repo). It's hive-common which depends on JSON.org (so it shows up
in the Pig sharelib and the Hive sharelib).
{quote}Are we essentially blocked on making new Oozie releases until there have
been releases of those projects?{quote}
That would be really bad. Oozie hasn't had an actual release in over a year
and we have a lot of content to get out there. It would be quite a delay to
have to wait for a new Hive release. That said, even if we did this, there's
nothing stopping a user from overriding the {{hive.version}} during the build
to an older Hive, and getting JSON.org. Given that, is this really a
requirement? Oozie doesn't have a binary release, so we wouldn't actually be
shipping anything. And Oozie itself wouldn't depend on JSON.org.
Otherwise, I guess our only option is to exclude JSON.org and hope nothing
breaks. I suppose we could add a release note letting users know that if they
need JSON.org in the Hive or Hive2 actions, they'll need to add it manually.
