Gabriel Reid commented on PHOENIX-993:
--------------------------------------
About filing an HBase bug -- I'll double-check on this, but I think that JRuby
only gets pulled in by the HBase testing libs in HBase 0.98+, and I think it's
needed there, so that's probably a non-issue. On HBase 0.94 it definitely gets
pulled in by the hbase jar itself, so I'll look into logging a bug for that.
> Remove/exclude JRuby dependency

> Key: PHOENIX-993
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-993
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gabriel Reid
> Assignee: Gabriel Reid
>
> Phoenix 3.0 pulls in org.jruby:jruby-complete transitively (via HBase), and
> Phoenix 4.0 explicitly includes jruby-complete as a dependency.
> JRuby is used by HBase to provide shell functionality. However,
> jruby-complete is an uber jar that includes things like joda-time and jline.
> These "invisible" dependencies can cause difficult to debug classpath issues
> in downstream applications.
> The transitive dependency to jruby should be excluded in 3.0, and the
> explicit (and transitive?) dependency should also be removed/excluded in 4.0
> and master.
