If I recall there were 3 areas of discussions around JDBC:
1. JDBC url, authentication etc would need to be extensible since they vary
greatly between platforms
2. Autocomplete hint etc would also need to be extensible since reserve
words etc are different
3. More importantly - multi-instances - if we are to have one JDBC
interpreter we need to have a way of supporting multiple instances of the
interpreter? Otherwise we are limiting to work with one JDBC host at a time and
can't talk to Hive, PostgresQL, Phoenix etc at the same time.
