James Taylor commented on PHOENIX-971: -------------------------------------- Great stuff, [~ndimiduk]. One question about the URL for the remote driver: What's the typical JDBC way of differentiating a remote/thin driver from a thick driver ([~julianhyde] may know)? You've used jdbc:phoenix:remote, but I'm worried that this may not co-exist with our existing URL (in that if PhoenixDriver is registered and on the classpath, it might use that one given that URL, thinking that "remote" is the Zookeeper quorum). I seem to remember something like jdbc:phoenix:// would mean it's remote. At least that's how our existing Driver interprets that - see toward the end of PhoenixEmbeddedDriver.acceptsURL(String url). Second question (and maybe a dumb one), but do we need a dependency on jruby for this, as I noticed that in the pom. Third question: if there were a pool of query servers with a load balancer in front of them, would everything just "work"? Is that the expected architecture? One final question: is the client/server protocol stable, as once this gets rolled out, changing that will be difficult. Is there a version number embedded in the protocol? How does it help to maintain b/w compat? Very exciting stuff. > Query server > ------------ > > Key: PHOENIX-971 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-971 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Andrew Purtell > Assignee: Nick Dimiduk > Fix For: 5.0.0 > > Attachments: PHOENIX-971.00.patch, image-2.png > > > Host the JDBC driver in a query server process that can be deployed as a > middle tier between lighter weight clients and Phoenix+HBase.
