Alan Gates commented on HCATALOG-108:
-------------------------------------
A couple of questions/comments on this patch. One, do you have another driver
you wish to use? It would be good to test this with another driver. Two, I
don't like the removing of the check in the installer that the driver is in the
correct place. It seems better to add an alternate check for another driver.
> Install and server start scripts should not assume mysql jdbc driver

> Key: HCATALOG-108
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-108
> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripts
> Affects Versions: 0.2
> Reporter: Thomas Weise
> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HCATALOG-108-scripts-mysql.patch

>
> HCatalog is not limited to mysql (Hive has explicit support for postgres and
> derby as well) and metastore works with other DB vendors (we are
> experimenting with Oracle). The mysql driver check gets into the way.
> Would also suggest to rename the "DBROOT" variable to "EXTRA_JARS" or
> something more applicable (it could be any directory with extra jar files
> required for JDBC or other customization).
