Hi everyone 🙂 I was simply wondering if it was planned to modularize the elastic search artefact present on maven central ? For now, the org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:0.17.4 takes approximatively 11Mo. I'm only using the java client API and I'm wondering if the full 11Mo bundle are useful for the java api only ? Will you plan to lower this and provide a much thiner archive ("a la" spring) allowing to choose which component to integrate in our application ? Thanks in advance for your feedback 🙂 Frédéric ---

Yea..., its a hefty jar... . The main reason why the jar is a big one is because elasticsearch is almost completely evented. This menas a lot of small, sometimes inner classes, and Java does a bad job compressing it (its zip based, compression is per class file). Another smaller reason is that elasticsearch embeds most of the libs it uses (except for Lucene), this include mainly jackson, netty, and guice. This allows for elasticsearch to use its own verified version of those libraries. So, to answer your question, no, there won't be a smaller jar file in the future. 2011/8/5 Frédéric Camblor [fcamblor@gmail.com](mailto:fcamblor@gmail.com) > Hi everyone 🙂 > > I was simply wondering if it was planned to modularize the Elasticsearch > artefact present on maven central ? > For now, the org.elasticsearch:elasticsearch:0.17.4 takes approximatively > 11Mo. > > I'm only using the java client API and I'm wondering if the full 11Mo > bundle are useful for the java api only ? > Will you plan to lower this and provide a much thiner archive ("a la" > spring) allowing to choose which component to integrate in our application ? > > Thanks in advance for your feedback 🙂 > > Frédéric ---

I understand your needs, but could you split the client part of the jar from the server part? Is it possible to do that without a lot of effort?

It will require a lot of effort, and will not reduce the size by much...
