I would definitely support Joe on this. It's been painful. We now created a Uber jar which has all dependency jars and placed it in the classpath and it still fails to load the driver jars. It throws back kerberos error that it doesn't have a right keytab. Main thing is considering the fact that NIFI is built to be a light weighted application, we shouldn't keep adding jars in classpath lib.
We need this DBCP component to support hive2 with kerberos principal and keytab setup and make it work in a straight forward way. If it is NoClassFound issues, then it is fine(we can create an uber jar and point that lib path instead of having it in classpath lib). But when it is something more than that, then there is no point in having tool do it or having it as a component that supports hive. -- View this message in context: http://apache-nifi-developer-list.39713.n7.nabble.com/NIFI-DBCP-connection-pool-not-working-for-hive-tp2863p2941.html Sent from the Apache NiFi Developer List mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
