Hi Jie Wang, thanks for starting this discussion. To me the SPI approach sounds better because it is not as brittle as using reflection. Concerning the configuration, we could think about introducing some Hive specific configuration options which allow us to specify these paths. How are other projects which integrate with Hive are solving this problem?
