Description

Tephra has and old Guava dependency, that cannot be removed due to Twill depending on it. Removing the Twill dependency from Tephra is possible, but not trivial. 

This Guava has CVEs, which will show up in static analysis tools, which will cause some potential users not to adopt Phoenix.

Provide an option to build Phoenix without Tephra, and its problematic dependencies.
