Saws

Scala AWS api

aws-java-sdk dependency

Reasoning

• Hadoop has an incompatible dependency on aws-java-sdk with the version in use here
• saws-aws

Attempted use of Proguard in saws

• Created a saws-shim project where we attempted to use proguard to rename the com.amazonaws packages throughout the aws-java-sdk as well as the saws codebase.
• Proguard was successful in renaming the aws-java-sdk packages in the java codebase - this is now used in saws-aws
• Proguard was unsuccessful in handling certain scala classes, namely package objects and some type parameters

Current solution

• saws-aws adds the com.ambiata prefix to package names from the aws-java-sdk. i.e. com.amazonaws.foo -> com.amazonaws.foo
• There is a source code change to match saws-aws

NB - Any downstream dependencies will need to use the saws-aws version of the aws-java-sdk or end up with two large jars (saws-aws as well as aws-java-sdk) on your classpath
