----------------------------------------------
> Reduce Guava dependency in Hadoop source code
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-17098
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-17098
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Ahmed Hussein
> Assignee: Ahmed Hussein
> Priority: Major
>
> Relying on Guava implementation in Hadoop has been painful due to
> compatibility and vulnerability issues.
> Guava updates tend to break/deprecate APIs. This made It hard to maintain
> backward compatibility within hadoop versions and clients/downstreams.
> With 3.x uses java8+, the java 8 features should preferred to Guava, reducing
> the footprint, and giving stability to source code.
> This jira should serve as an umbrella toward an incremental effort to reduce
> the usage of Guava in the source code and to create subtasks to replace Guava
> classes with Java features.
> Furthermore, it will be good to add a rule in the pre-commit build to warn
> against introducing a new Guava usage in certain modules.
> Any one willing to take part in this code refactoring has to:
> # Focus on one module at a time in order to reduce the conflicts and the
> size of the patch. This will significantly help the reviewers.
> # Run all the unit tests related to the module being affected by the change.
> It is critical to verify that any change will not break the unit tests, or
> cause a stable test case to become flaky.
>
> A list of sub tasks replacing Guava APIs with java8 features:
> {code:java}
> com.google.common.io.BaseEncoding#base64() java.util.Base64
> com.google.common.io.BaseEncoding#base64Url() java.util.Base64
> com.google.common.base.Joiner.on()
> java.lang.String#join() or
>
> java.util.stream.Collectors#joining()
> com.google.common.base.Optional#of() java.util.Optional#of()
> com.google.common.base.Optional#absent()
> java.util.Optional#empty()
> com.google.common.base.Optional#fromNullable()
> java.util.Optional#ofNullable()
> com.google.common.base.Optional
> java.util.Optional
> com.google.common.base.Predicate
> java.util.function.Predicate
> com.google.common.base.Function
> java.util.function.Function
> com.google.common.base.Supplier
> java.util.function.Supplier
> {code}
>
> I also vote for the replacement of {{Precondition}} with either a wrapper, or
> Apache commons lang.
> I believe you guys have dealt with Guava compatibilities in the past and
> probably have better insights. Any thoughts? [~weichiu], [~gabor.bota],
