---------------------------------
Summary: Create a maven assembly for hive-jdbc
Key: HIVE-6593
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6593
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build Infrastructure
Affects Versions: 0.12.0
Reporter: Mark Grover
Currently in Apache Bigtop we bundle and distribute Hive. In particular, for
users to not have to install the entirety of Hive on machines that are just
jdbc clients, we have a special package which is a subset of hive, called
hive-jdbc that bundles only the jdbc driver jar and it's dependencies.
However, because Hive doesn't have an assembly for the jdbc jar, we have to
hack and hardcode the list of jdbc jars and it's dependencies:
https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-packages/src/rpm/hive/SPECS/hive.spec#L361
As Hive moves to Maven, it would be pretty fantastic if Hive could leverage the
maven-assembly-plugin and generate a .tar.gz assembly for what's required for
jdbc gateway machines. That we can simply take that distribution and build a
jdbc package from it without having to hard code jar names and dependencies.
That would make the process much less error prone.
