Currently we are shipping pulsar-client and pulsar-client-admin separately. Both pulsar-client and pulsar-client-admin are shaded packages. But they shaded the dependencies independently.
It is quite common to see applications using both pulsar-client and pulsar-client-admin. These applications will have redundant shaded classes existed in both pulsar-client and pulsar-client-admin. Sometime it also causes troubles when we introduced new dependencies but forget to update shading rules.
This proposal is proposing introduced a new module called pulsar-client-all. It will include both pulsar-client and pulsar-client-admin and shade the dependencies only one time. This would reduce the size of dependencies for applications using both pulsar-client and pulsar-client-admin.
There is no other alternatives. We can just leave as it is and do nothing.
