## Building applications with Alluxio

### Dependency Information

For Alluxio versions 1.4 or earlier, use the `alluxio-core-client` artifact.

For Alluxio versions 1.5 or later, Alluxio provides several different client artifacts. The Alluxio
file system interface provided by the `alluxio-core-client-fs` artifact is recommended for the best
performance and access to Alluxio-specific functionality. If you want to use other interfaces,
include the appropriate client artifact. For example, `alluxio-core-client-hdfs` provides a client
implementing HDFS's file system API.

#### Apache Maven
```xml
<dependency>
  <groupId>org.alluxio</groupId>
  <artifactId>alluxio-core-client-fs</artifactId>

```

#### Gradle

```groovy
compile 'org.alluxio:alluxio-core-client-fs:1.8.2'

#### Apache Ant

  <artifact name="alluxio-core-client-fs" type="jar" />
</dependency>
```

#### SBT
```
libraryDependencies += "org.alluxio" % "alluxio-core-client-fs" % "1.8.2"
