> Hive/Oozie (and possibly other components in the future) make use of a
> relational database to store its metadata.
> When the user wants to use an existing, external database, it's easy to
> mistype the credentials/JDBC string. Currently, such mistakes are not caught
> until service install or start, at which point it's a pain to reconfigure and
> fix the issue.
> API should expose the ability to check database connectivity given the JDBC
> connection string, username, and password, so that the UI can expose this to
> the end user in the Customize Services page.
