-------------------------------
Summary: Gateway service defintion for Avatica
Key: KNOX-817
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-817
Project: Apache Knox
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Josh Elser
Fix For: 0.11.0
Apache Avatica, an Apache Calcite sub-project, is an HTTP-based JDBC server and
corresponding JDBC driver (which uses that server). It is meant to act as a
proxy to some database. Avatica is presently used by a number of projects,
Apache Phoenix and Apache Drill to name two prominent ones, and has a number of
community-developed drivers in languages other than Java.
As far as authentication goes, Avatica only provides authentication based on
the authentication capabilities of the database. Knox is a natural fit for
Avatica, specifically the centralized authentication, SSL support, and auditing
are all enticing features.
With the help of [~lmccay] (and
https://github.com/moresandeep/knox-dev-docker), I got some service files
working very quickly. Would be nice to contribute these back to enable Phoenix,
Drill and others to use Knox out of the box.
