There are three areas where we shade our dependencies:

Internal Shading: Hadoop Dependencies

Internal shading is about hiding some of Hadoop's dependencies from Flink. 
Flink supports a broad range of Hadoop versions, which depend on different versions of certain dependencies.
Right now, we shade

...

  • flink-shaded-hadoop1 Is for all hadoop 0.2X and 1.XX versions. It contains only only hadoop-core + some dependency exclusions
  • flink-shaded-hadoop2 is for all hadoop versions starting from 2.x. It contains dependencies for hadoop-common, hadoop-hdfs, hadoop-mapreduce-client-core (for the hadoop compatibility stuff in flink-java). This module is only used for the hadoop 2.0.0-alpha build. It contains only some MapReduce interfaces and the HDFS client. It does not contain YARN.
  • flink-shaded-include-yarn This module is for Hadoop 2.2.0+. This module contains the same dependencies as the hadoop2 module above + some dependencies for YARN.
  • flink-shaded-include-yarn-tests
    This module is like flink-shaded-include-yarn but it contains all classes required for flink-yarn-tests. The dependencies are NOT in the 'tests' scope, because the maven-shade-plugin can not relocate them from there. We need this module to consistently shade all required classes when running the tests.

All other modules in flink which need something from hadoop need to depend on the right flink-shaded-hadoop submodule. Therefore the flink-parent pom exposes the shading-artifact.name variable. It is set depending on the requested hadoop dependency set.
To depend on Hadoop, add the following entry to your pom:

Code Block
<dependency>
	<groupId>org.apache.flink</groupId>
	<artifactId>${shading-artifact.name}</artifactId>
	<version>${project.version}</version>
</dependency>

NOTE: It is very important not to put guava, protobuf, netty and asm (== all shaded hadoop dependencies) into the dependencyManagement section of the parent pom. If they are there, they'll influence the version we'll pack into the shaded hadoop jar! will take the output of the regular build process (a jar file), add all depending cl 

External Shading: Guava, ASM

External shading hides some of Flink's dependencies to Flink users. This allows users to use whatever version of Guava or ASM they want.
The external shading is controlled in the flink-parent pom, in the maven-shade-plugin. 

As per status of the pull request mentioned above, a project depending on: flink-java, flink-streaming-core, flink-streaming-connectors, flink-clients, flink-scala, flink-streaming-scala will see the following Flink dependencies:

To add more dependencies to this external shading, add them to the artifactSet in the flink-parent/pom.xml

Final binary fat jar

Before the pull request mentioned above, Flink was not building a single fat-jar for the binary distribution. This was only done for YARN to reduce the number of files necessary to distribute to all containers.
With this change, we always create one fat-jar containing all flink jars and their dependencies.
If we would stick with the old approach (a jar file for each Flink module), we would end up with a very big binary distribution in the end, because all jars would contain all shaded dependencies (asm, guava etc.).
