-----------------------------------------------
Summary: JDBC-PXF - support configuration by config file
Key: HAWQ-1462
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAWQ-1462
Project: Apache HAWQ
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: PXF
Reporter: Michael Andre Pearce (IG)
Assignee: Vineet Goel
The example has the username and password in the connection string.
LOCATION ('pxf://localhost:51200/demodb.myclass'
'?PROFILE=JDBC'
'&JDBC_DRIVER=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
'&DB_URL=jdbc:mysql://192.168.200.6:3306/demodb&USER=root&PASS=root'
)
This creates security issue because anyone that can connect to the database
will be able to see the username and password of the JDBC connection.
I suggest changing the URL to a connection profile that points to a file
outside of the database. For Greenplum database and S3, the LOCATION syntax
includes "config=/path/to/config_file". The config_file contains the S3
credentials. This seems like a good pattern to follow here too.
