Description

The compile scoped dependency on jetty servlet-api in the IPC pom file can be problematic if using Avro in a webapp environment. Would it be possible to make this dependency either optional or provided? Or maybe Avro modularize into sub-modules in such a way that desired features can be assembled piecemeal?
