Matt Burgess commented on NIFI-2991:
------------------------------------
I dug through the Hive JDBC and Hive Streaming code looking for usages of this
library that might bite us on the client side:
- Hive JDBC only has that dependency because it comes with hive-common, but
only appears to be used (on the server side) by Tez. I ran NiFi without the JAR
and was able to do a SelectHiveQL with an "explain select * from myTable"
successfully. This indicates the explain is being done on the server side
(which currently does have the library).
- Hive Streaming appears to use Jackson for the StrictJsonWriter, I couldn't
find any usages of org.json in that module (again it appears to only have been
brought in transitively via hive-common).
If we exclude the JAR from the hive-common (and hive-serde) dependencies in the
Hive NAR, we should be good to go from the client side. I will issue a PR with
these changes shortly.
