Billie Rinaldi commented on ACCUMULO-3402: ------------------------------------------ I'm also leaning towards a revert at this point. It's possible introducing a mapreduce module would provide the desired benefits after we have a separate api module (ACCUMULO-2589), so it may be worthwhile to revisit the idea later. > Introduction of the mapreduce maven module breaks 1.6 compatibility > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ACCUMULO-3402 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3402 > Project: Accumulo > Issue Type: Bug > Components: client > Reporter: Josh Elser > Assignee: Josh Elser > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 1.7.0 > > > The introduction of mapreduce maven module breaks backwards compatibility > with 1.6. > Code that previously worked against 1.6 (that used our mapreduce classes) is > now broken without a deprecation cycle -- specifically trying to compile Hive > against Accumulo 1.7 is broken. > While the classes themselves haven't technically changed, the required > dependencies have. In my eyes, this is an incompatible change that violates > our current public API rules. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
