I don't think we need any major changes here. Just something more
descriptive.
> Keep it like it is now, provide a convenient way to initialize MySQL with
other databases requiring manual setup. In this case metron_jdbc_platform would
accept h2, mysql, or empty meaning the user is responsible for setup.
Yes, something along these lines (^^^) is what I think we need.
More specifically, I would suggest...
* Change the name of `metron_jdbc_platform` to something more descriptive.
Maybe `metron_rest_db_setup`, `metron_rest_ddl`, or something better?
* Update the brief description in Ambari so that it reflects what you
described above.
* Instead of an '' empty option let's call it something along the lines of
'Manual Database Setup'.
* Updates to the README as you already suggested.
