Gabriel Reid commented on PHOENIX-966:
--------------------------------------
Thanks for taking a look [~jamestaylor].
{quote}Would you mind updating the documentation on our website too sometime
over the next couple of weeks?{quote}
Yes, for sure, I'll get on that as soon as this is committed.
{quote}One corner case I just thought of is stats collection (which is really
just getting the min and max key of an HTable at this point). See
StatsManagerImpl.updateStats(TableRef tableRef) which uses HBase APIs
directly.{quote}
Thanks for pointing this one out. Tracing through the code, it appears that
this method (and other things from StatsManager in general) only get called
from a context that is running within a PhoenixContextExecutor call. Just to be
sure, was there a specific spot that you were thinking might be an issue?

> The Phoenix client jar currently needs to be put on the boot classpath of
> external SQL tools in order to function correctly, while most JDBC drivers do
> not have this requirement.
> For example, in SQuirreL there is an option to provide the path to the JDBC
> driver jar file when defining a JDBC driver. This approach doesn't work with
> Phoenix due to it dependence on loading classes and the hbase-default.xml
> file via the context classloader.
> For installations of external tools where users don't have the
> rights/abilities/knowledge necessary to add an external jar file to the boot
> classpath, this causes a genuine issue for using Phoenix.
