Hi devs, Currently, PredictionIO provides a source code distribution and a binary distribution. The binary distribution is same as a package which made by ./make-distribution.sh from the source binary with default configuration. So we need to install JDBC drivers or Apache Spark additionally even with the binary distribution.
I wonder if JDBC drivers and Apache Spark distributions can be included in the binary release. For example, Since Apache Zeppelin bundles Apache Spark, we can start to use Spark on Zeppelin out-of-the-box. Of course, Spark is ASL and PostgreSQL JDBC driver is BSL license (PIO already includes another BSL libraries), and we can bundle MariaDB driver instead of MySQL driver. So I think there isn't a licence related problem. Is there any other reason we can't bundle them? -- Naoki Takezoe
