---------------------------------------
+1. Thanks for tracking this down, [~gabriel.reid].
> Phoenix can't be used from an external jar in SQL tools

> Key: PHOENIX-1612
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-1612
> Project: Phoenix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Gabriel Reid
> Attachments: PHOENIX-1612.patch

>
> This is a regression to some of the behavior that was resolved in PHOENIX-966
> and a few others. If the phoenix-client jar is not in the lib directory of
> tools like SquirrelSQL and DBVisualizer, then it's not possible to connect to
> Phoenix with those tools.
> This current regression is due to a static HColumnDescriptor in
> ConnectionQueryServicesImpl. Initializing an HColumnDescriptor executes
> HBaseConfiguration.create, which then fails due to the hbase-defaults check
> (because the Phoenix-bundled hbase-default.xml isn't found via the context
> classloader).
