Github user srowen commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/3115#issuecomment-63283917 @cloud-fan I think it depends on whether the code uses `hbase-common` directly as well, for example. It might. Then it's more correct to depend directly on both. Excludes are the same either way. The big exclusion rule is for `hbase-server` here, and I think ideally it would not be a dependency. Most people wouldn't depend on the server. IIRC there was some reason it was required by the Spark example code. Hence it is included but with a lot of exclusions. If you have a solution that would sever this dependency I think it would be a clear improvement.
