General question for people using Pinot in production - does anyone depend on Scala 2.11 support? Asking because other open source projects have dropped 2.11 (I think last patch release was in 2017), and that’s making it harder for Pinot to stay current with updates.

Pinot should not depend on scala right?

Some plugins require Scala

only kafka I think right, we should let individual plugins pick the version it works with. since we shade the plugins we should be ok right

This was the Spark stuff

we can do the same for spark as well.. we should remove the plugin related dependencies from the root pom and move them to individual plugins or into the pom.xml in the plugins

This was in the plugin pom, not the root pom. Agree that non-plugin dependencies could be cleaned up.

+1 to potentially cleaning up non-plugin dependences. I had a branch where I got it all working with scala 2.12, but it was mostly googling around for random errors and adding configs in upper pom.xml to get it all working
