Szehon Ho updated HIVE-6593:
----------------------------

    Description: 
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.

NO PRECOMMIT TESTS
