Jan Fernando commented on PHOENIX-971: -------------------------------------- [~lhofhansl] From the app developers viewpoint, beyond client side jar management, the big appeal of having a "thin" client with more typical RDBMS JDBC driver resource utilization characteristics is that it much easier to work with and scale out in a typical heterogenous, resource constrained app server environment. Of course, that has to be traded-off against additional operational complexity and hardware requirements for another service. But if the kinds of operations we need the client to do require a lot more compute power than a traditional RDBMS JDBC driver it can make it challenging to run amongst a set heterogenous app server activity, particularly, when capacity planning assumes close to a 1:1 ratio of HTTP requests to threads. > Query server > ------------ > > Key: PHOENIX-971 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PHOENIX-971 > Project: Phoenix > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Andrew Purtell > > Host the JDBC driver in a query server process that can be deployed as a > middle tier between lighter weight clients and Phoenix+HBase.
