> Expose a JDBC endpoint for Livy

> Key: LIVY-489
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LIVY-489
> Project: Livy
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: API, Server
> Affects Versions: 0.6.0
> Reporter: Marco Gaido
> Assignee: Marco Gaido
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 0.6.0
>
>
> Many users and BI tools use JDBC connections in order to retrieve data. As
> Livy exposes only a REST API, this is a limitation in its adoption. Hence,
> adding a JDBC endpoint may be a very useful feature, which could also make
> Livy a more attractive solution for end user to adopt.
> Moreover, currently, Spark exposes a JDBC interface, but this has many
> limitations, including that all the queries are submitted to the same
> application, therefore there is no isolation/security, which can be offered
> by Livy, making a Livy JDBC API a better solution for companies/users who
> want to use Spark in order to run they queries through JDBC.
> In order to make the transition from existing solutions to the new JDBC
> server seamless, the proposal is to use the Hive thrift-server and extend it
> as it was done by the STS.
