Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-811:
--------------------------------------
After taking a closer look at the various components that would benefit from
this, it appears that they all expect the JAR to already be in a specific
location (<component>_HOME/lib). I propose that bigtop-detect-javahome start
looking in likely locations for any extra artifacts (just mysql-connector-java
at first) and create symlinks to them in /var/lib/bigtop (unless valid symlinks
already exist). Any package that can use those artifacts can then ship with
symlinks to the appropriate file in /var/lib/bigtop. Thoughts?
> Auto-detect MySQL-Java connector

> Key: BIGTOP-811
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-811
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Sean Mackrory
> Assignee: Sean Mackrory

> For components that require the installation of additional artifacts that
> Bigtop cannot distribute (due to license incompatability or other issues),
> Bigtop should provide both a standardized location to which the artifacts can
> be installed, and the ability to auto-detect the locations to which they may
> already be installed.
> Specifically, Sqoop and Hive (and possibly other components) require the
> installation of the MySQL-Java connector when using MySQL for imports,
> exports, or metadata storage. This needs to be done by copying the JAR to a
> directory that is already in the classpath for those components (such as
> /usr/lib/sqoop/lib and /usr/lib/hive/lib). Some repositories distribute
> packages that install the jar to /usr/share/java.
