Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-15053:
-----------------------------------------

[~Ferd] if someone encounters a jdbc driver which is not service loadable the 
jdbc drivermanager provides a 
sysprop{{-Djdbc.drivers=com.acme.jdbc.AcmeJdbcDriver}} to load additional 
drivers.

according to 
http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/jcp/jdbc-4_1-mrel-eval-spec/jdbc4.1-fr-spec.pdf?AuthParam=1506493945_9fc823ace0df6ccd9cc77b1ba9e7068c

9.2.1: \[...\] JDBC 4.0 Drivers *must* include the file 
META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver.\[...\]

so I guess we are safe to drop the classpath scanning.

> There is a classpath scanning machinery inside {{ClassNameCompleter}}.
> I think the sole purpose of these things is to scan for jdbc drivers...(but 
> not entirely sure)
> if it is indeed looking for jdbc drivers..then possibly this can be removed 
> without any issues because modern jdbc drivers usually advertise their driver 
> as a service-loadable class for {{java.sql.Driver}}
