Marco Gaido commented on LIVY-489: ---------------------------------- Yes, sure. The point is: that template in not exhaustive and does not contain all the configs which can be set. > 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. > [Here, you can find the design > doc.|https://docs.google.com/document/d/18HAR_VnQLegbYyzGg8f4zwD4GtDP5q_t3K21eXecZC4/edit] > -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.2#803003)
