Service-fabric: FabricTransportServiceRemotingClientFactory without FabricClient.dll

[CamSoper]

Hi there! I'm the docs author at the Azure .NET SDK docs site, and a customer submitted the following issue with documentation generated from the /// comments in your API. Please be sure to @ them in your response. Thanks!

@tomtoepel commented in https://github.com/Azure/azure-docs-sdk-dotnet/issues/647:

I use "FabricTransportServiceRemotingClientFactory" for remote Client Access. But the ctor needs the "ServicePartitionResolver" and this needs the "FabricClient.dll" wich is part of the SDK and not the Service Fabric Nugets.

I know there are other ways like WCF and so on, but all works fine with the default endpoints, except i need the SDK on client side.

So my Question is:
Is it possible to use that way of remote communication without installing the SDK on the client.

EDIT: I'm changing my answer after re-reading your question,

I think as of now there's no way to instantiate FabricTransportServiceRemotingClientFactory objects without installing the Service Fabric SDK. In the future, this may change.

For now, there's a .Net Standard 2.0 NuGet package you can use for communicating with clusters over HTTP.
