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.

> Host the JDBC driver in a query server process that can be deployed as a 
> middle tier between lighter weight clients and Phoenix+HBase. This would 
> serve a similar optional role in Phoenix deployments as the
