URL: https://github.com/apache/drill/pull/1910#issuecomment-559887767
The meta-question is why we still need this after all these years? Shouldn't
we try to normalize our usage of Guava? Also, we moved Drill's use into a
shaded jar so that, presumably, it won't conflict with other usages. So, do we
still need this patching hack?

> Project: Apache Drill
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 1.16.0, 1.17.0
> Reporter: Arina Ielchiieva
> Assignee: Anton Gozhiy

> Apache Drill patches some Protobuf and Guava classes (see GuavaPatcher,
> ProtobufPatcher), patching should be done before classes to be patched are
> loaded. That's why this operation is executed in static block in Drillbit
> class.
> Some tests in java-exec module use Drillbit class, some extend DrillTest
> class, both of them patch Guava. But there are some tests that do not call
> patcher but load classes to be patched. For example,
> {{org.apache.drill.exec.sql.TestSqlBracketlessSyntax}} loads Guava
> Preconditions class. If such tests run before tests that require patching,
> tests run will fail since patching won't be successful. Patchers code does
> not fail application if patching was not complete, just logs warning
> ({{logger.warn("Unable to patch Guava classes.", e);}}), so sometimes it hard
> to identify unit tests failure root cause.
> We need to revisit all Drill tests to ensure that all of them extend common
> test base class which patchers Protobuf and Guava classes in static block.
> Also refactor Patcher classes to have assert to fail if patching fails during
> unit testing if there are any problems.
> After all tests are revised, we can remove {{metastore-test}} execution from
> main.xml in {{maven-surefire-plugin}} which was added to ensure that all
> Metastore tests run in a separate JVM where patching is done in first place
> since Iceberg Metastore heavily depends on patched Guava Preconditions class.
