If you take a look at
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.hive</groupId>
<artifactId>hive-exec</artifactId>
<version>3.1.2</version>
</dependency>
you will find com.google.protobuf as a package contained in it. That
creates conflicts occasionally and I wanted to know if you could
relocate/shade the protobuf dependency into something
org.apache.hive. The same process is done for kryo and a few others
already. In my line of thought it would be easy to also shade the
protobuf libraries while one is working
on a big chunk of grpc.
Hope it makes sense
