Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-6593: --------------------------------- Yea I was just checking if those translated to any other special requirements on hive side as to structure, permission of any file (if any), etc for the jdbc tarball. I guess I'll work on making a tarball of the lib/*.jar I listed above. Just as FYI, dug a little bit and it seems slf4j has been removed from lib by HIVE-6162, its in the bigtop spec for but not effective anymore. > Create a maven assembly for hive-jdbc > ------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6593 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6593 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Build Infrastructure > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Mark Grover > Assignee: Szehon Ho > > Currently in Apache Bigtop we bundle and distribute Hive. In particular, for > users to not have to install the entirety of Hive on machines that are just > jdbc clients, we have a special package which is a subset of hive, called > hive-jdbc that bundles only the jdbc driver jar and it's dependencies. > However, because Hive doesn't have an assembly for the jdbc jar, we have to > hack and hardcode the list of jdbc jars and it's dependencies: > https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-packages/src/rpm/hive/SPECS/hive.spec#L361 > As Hive moves to Maven, it would be pretty fantastic if Hive could leverage > the maven-assembly-plugin and generate a .tar.gz assembly for what's required > for jdbc gateway machines. That we can simply take that distribution and > build a jdbc package from it without having to hard code jar names and > dependencies. That would make the process much less error prone. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
