Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-1821:
-------------------------------------------
I really like the option 2) with the variant to provide a configuration
property that will contain directory where users are suppose to drop connectors
and that {{ConnectorManager}} will search in it's {{initialize}} method and
scan for connector jars and add them to the current classpath (e.g. Sqoop App
classpath). This solution should work both when running in Tomcat and for tools
that are running outside of Tomcat. As this is specific to Sqoop, I would
suggest to put this configuration property into {{sqoop.properties}} file with
some reasonable default (something like {{./lib/}}?) rather then putting it to
{{catalina.properties}}.

> Edit this wiki to begin with

> working seamlessly with the Sqoop2. They had to do some hacks to include this
> new jar into the class path.
