Marco Lotz commented on KAFKA-5146: ----------------------------------- [~mjsax] I recall we had a similar problem when updating to Java 11. Also, shipping the example with the production code, as everyone seems to agree, is sub-optimal. Kafka contains right now a module called "[examples|https://github.com/apache/kafka/tree/trunk/examples]", as [~guozhang] mentioned. If nobody strongly disagrees, I can send a PR moving this section of code there and removing the dependency. I can move it a package called "streams.examples" inside the "examples" module for example. Also, seems that I will have to update the Readme of the examples module - since although the package name is plural, currently there's only one example there. The example code itself was quite useful when I was onboarding some members - so I would suggest not to remove it. > Kafka Streams: remove compile dependency on connect-json > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: KAFKA-5146 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-5146 > Project: Kafka > Issue Type: Bug > Components: streams > Affects Versions: 0.10.1.0, 0.10.2.0, 0.10.2.1 > Reporter: Michael G. Noll > Priority: Minor > > We currently have a compile-dependency on `connect-json`: > {code} > <dependency> > <groupId>org.apache.kafka</groupId> > <artifactId>connect-json</artifactId> > <version>0.10.2.0</version> > <scope>compile</scope> > </dependency> > {code} > The snippet above is from the generated POM of Kafka Streams as of 0.10.2.0 > release. > AFAICT the only reason for that is because the Kafka Streams *examples* > showcase some JSON processing, but that’s it. > First and foremost, we should remove the connect-json dependency, and also > figure out a way to set up / structure the examples so we that we can > continue showcasing JSON support. Alternatively, we could consider removing > the JSON example (but I don't like that, personally). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
