------------------------------------
Summary: Enhance JDBC Driver to not require class specification
Key: HIVE-7998
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7998
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: JDBC
Reporter: Prateek Rungta
Priority: Trivial
The hotspot VM offers a way to avoid having to specify the driver class
explicitly when using the JDBC driver.
The DriverManager methods getConnection and getDrivers have been enhanced to
support the Java Standard Edition Service Provider mechanism. JDBC 4.0 Drivers
must include the file META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver. This file contains the
name of the JDBC drivers implementation of java.sql.Driver. For example, to
load the my.sql.Driver class, the META-INF/services/java.sql.Driver file would
contain the entry: `my.sql.Driver`
Applications no longer need to explictly load JDBC drivers using
Class.forName(). Existing programs which currently load JDBC drivers using
Class.forName() will continue to work without modification.
