> 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.
> NO PRECOMMIT TESTS
