Broken transitive dependencies for Maven artifacts

[afedulov]

The client has compile-time dependency on GRPC libraries, however the artifact published to Maven central declares them as runtime dependencies:

mvn dependency:tree

[INFO] +- io.qdrant:client:jar:1.16.0:compile
[INFO] |  +- io.grpc:grpc-protobuf:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |  |  +- io.grpc:grpc-api:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |  |  \- io.grpc:grpc-protobuf-lite:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |  +- io.grpc:grpc-stub:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |  \- io.grpc:grpc-netty-shaded:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |     +- io.grpc:grpc-util:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |     |  \- org.codehaus.mojo:animal-sniffer-annotations:jar:1.24:runtime
[INFO] |     +- io.grpc:grpc-core:jar:1.68.2:runtime
[INFO] |     |  \- com.google.android:annotations:jar:4.1.1.4:runtime
[INFO] |     \- io.perfmark:perfmark-api:jar:0.27.0:runtime

This causes the client builder to fail during the compilation with grpc-related errors:

java: cannot access io.grpc.ManagedChannel
  class file for io.grpc.ManagedChannel not found

and requires explicit inclusion of the compile-time dependencies

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
            <artifactId>grpc-protobuf</artifactId>
            <version>1.68.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.grpc</groupId>
            <artifactId>grpc-stub</artifactId>
            <version>1.68.2</version>
        </dependency>

which is not reflected in the documentation.

Please consider switching the scope of these dependencies from implementation to api and republishing the artifacts or listing the missing compile-time dependencies explicitly in the documentation.

Hey @afedulov. Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue.
We did have a note in the README about this.

But I think it's better to update the scopes as you suggested. #93 will address this.

Update: Please try v1.16.1.

Hey @Anush008.
I can confirm that 1.16.1 resolves the issue.
Thanks for the quick fix!
