Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-6593:
---------------------------------
Hi, I'm interested in working on this , as I had worked on HIVE-5611
But it would be good if somebody can help me clarify the spec-file, as I am not
so familiar with bigtop?
{noformat}
%files jdbc
%defattr(-,root,root,755)
%dir %{usr_lib_hive}
%dir %{usr_lib_hive}/lib
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/hive-jdbc-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/hive-metastore-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/hive-serde-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/hive-exec-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/libthrift-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/hive-service-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/libfb303-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/slf4j-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/log4j-*.jar
%{usr_lib_hive}/lib/commons-logging-*.jar
{noformat}
I am assuming that the list of /lib/*.jar is what we want in the jdbc package.
But do the first few lines (defaultattr, dir, dir) have any significance?
Also one more thing I found, is that slf4j is no longer in the apache hive
distributable, last that I built it.
> 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
>
> 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.
