The shaded version of elasticsearch was built at the very beginning to avoid dependency conflicts in a specific case where:
* People use elasticsearch from Java
* People needs to embed elasticsearch jar within their own application (as it's today the only way to get a `TransportClient`)
* People also embed in their application another (most of the time older) version of dependency we are using for elasticsearch, such as: Guava, Joda, Jackson...
This conflict issue can be solved within the projects themselves by either upgrade the dependency version and use the one provided by elasticsearch or by shading elasticsearch project and relocating some conflicting packages.
Example
-------
As an example, let's say you want to use within your project `Joda 2.1` but elasticsearch `2.0.0-beta1` provides `Joda 2.8`.
Let's say you also want to run all that with shield plugin.
Create a new maven project or module with:
```xml
<groupId>fr.pilato.elasticsearch.test</groupId>
<artifactId>es-shaded</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<properties>
<elasticsearch.version>2.0.0-beta1</elasticsearch.version>
</properties>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
<artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
<version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.elasticsearch.plugin</groupId>
<artifactId>shield</artifactId>
<version>${elasticsearch.version}</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
```
And now shade and relocate all packages which conflicts with your own application:
```xml
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>shade</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<relocations>
<relocation>
<pattern>org.joda</pattern>
<shadedPattern>fr.pilato.thirdparty.joda</shadedPattern>
</relocation>
</relocations>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
```
You can create now a shaded version of elasticsearch + shield by running `mvn clean install`.
In your project, you can now depend on:
```xml
<dependency>
<groupId>fr.pilato.elasticsearch.test</groupId>
<artifactId>es-shaded</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>joda-time</groupId>
<artifactId>joda-time</artifactId>
<version>2.1</version>
</dependency>
```
Build then your TransportClient as usual:
```java
TransportClient client = TransportClient.builder()
.settings(Settings.builder()
.put("path.home", ".")
.put("shield.user", "username:password")
.put("plugin.types", "org.elasticsearch.shield.ShieldPlugin")
)
.build();
client.addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress(new InetSocketAddress("localhost", 9300)));
// Index some data
client.prepareIndex("test", "doc", "1").setSource("foo", "bar").setRefresh(true).get();
SearchResponse searchResponse = client.prepareSearch("test").get();
```
If you want to use your own version of Joda, then import for example `org.joda.time.DateTime`. If you want to access to the shaded version (not recommended though), import `fr.pilato.thirdparty.joda.time.DateTime`.
You can run a simple test to make sure that both classes can live together within the same JVM:
```java
CodeSource codeSource = new org.joda.time.DateTime().getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource();
System.out.println("unshaded = " + codeSource);
codeSource = new fr.pilato.thirdparty.joda.time.DateTime().getClass().getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource();
System.out.println("shaded = " + codeSource);
```
It will print:
```
unshaded = (file:/path/to/joda-time-2.1.jar <no signer certificates>)
shaded = (file:/path/to/es-shaded-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar <no signer certificates>)
```
This PR also removes fully-loaded module.
By the way, the project can now build with Maven 3.3.3 so we can relax a bit our maven policy.
Adds an explicit description the RPM package so it doesn't inherit the description from the POM.
Closes#12550
Also, modified descriptions for deb and rpm packages to be the same and to reference the documentation rather than listing features that are out of date.
This change creates a proper `distribution` modules in which we have today packaging for
all of our four current packages:
* zip
* tar.gz
* rpm
* deb
Licenes have moved into the distribution project as well. So have the config/ and the bin/ directory
from the core/ project.
The RPM package is now built, if rpmbuild exists.
The bats tests have been moved as well.
Also the zip distribution now executes the REST integration tests.
