What is the reason of the downloadProtos Gradle build step?

[apupier]

Hi,

I'm wondering what is the reason of the downloadProtos gradle build step

java-client/build.gradle

Line 112 in 8a3a8e0

tasks.register('downloadProtos') {

There is mention of a patch

java-client/build.gradle

Line 141 in 8a3a8e0

// patch in java package to qdrant protos

is it to workaround a bug in another library?

regards,

Hi.

IIRC, this was a legacy decision. The option java_package = "io.qdrant.client.grpc" is injected during the build step rather than being defined directly in the proto files themselves (see https://github.com/qdrant/qdrant/tree/master/lib/api/src/grpc/proto)
