### Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform. If you add flight-sql-jdbc-driver as a dependency to a java appllication it pulls in 70MB of dependencies including 8 platform specific versions of netty and 1000s of files. H2 database which includes a JDBC driver and a database engine is 2.5MB. If you want smaller, here is JDBC implemented as a single file (https://github.com/KxSystems/kdb/blob/master/c/jdbc.java), this is used by 100s of users globally. I admire the idea of a common data format but tying it to a 70MB verbose implementation when someone just wants a java driver isn't convincing me. Eclipse, apache, google, gson, flatbuffer - it's basically every popular java dependency in the world. - **There's a 256kb suffix list text file from mozilla in there.** What's that for? No attempt has been made at crafting something beautiful. 256kb is 10% of the size of H2 database and JDBC driver. - 13 MB for platform specific nettys is larger than 80% of other database drivers alone.
