>
> 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.
