dhruba borthakur commented on HBASE-2170:
-----------------------------------------

It appears that from a build perspective (inefficient maven dependencies, etc, 
etc) you would want to split hbase into multiple jars. But from a deployment & 
operation perspective, it is a nightmare. Can somebody please enumerate which 
jars are currently required by a hbase client application and also enumerate 
which jars will be needed by after this patch? 

Also, can somebody who is *using* hbase vouch for the fact that the splitting 
of jars is helpful? 

The analogy I draw is that the hadoop libraries are the same for the hadoop 
clients as well as servers. I have found it to be great help for operation 
purposes: there is lesser chance of mixing  up different incompatible versions.

> As a wish - it would be nice to have a hbase client library (subset of the 
> current hbase distribution) that needs to be present at the hbase client 
> level to interact with the master/region servers. 
> From an app integration - users of hbase can just link against the client 
> library as opposed to getting the entire library to link against.
