Bill Graham commented on HIVE-538:
----------------------------------
>From a purely empirical approach it appears that the following jars are
>currently required to use the hive JDBC driver (version 0.5.0):
{noformat}
dist/lib/hive-exec-0.7.0.jar
dist/lib/hive-jdbc-0.7.0.jar
dist/lib/hive-metastore-0.7.0.jar
dist/lib/hive-service-0.7.0.jar
dist/lib/libfb303.jar
dist/lib/libthrift.jar
hadoop-core-{version}.jar
{noformat}
I propose modifying the build process to combine the classes from the first set
of jars into one single jar. That way users only need to add the hadoop-core
jar and and hive-jdbc-combined jar to their classpath. As other dependencies
are removed or refactored away, we could thin out what goes in the jar.
I can take on this JIRA if others agree with the approach.

> Currently, most jars in hive/build/dist/lib and the hadoop-*-core.jar are
> required in the classpath to run jdbc applications on hive. We need to do
> atleast the following to get rid of most unnecessary dependencies:
> 1. get rid of dynamic serde and use a standard serialization format, maybe
> tab separated, json or avro
> 2. dont use hadoop configuration parameters
> 3. repackage thrift and fb303 classes into hive_jdbc.jar
