Kunal Khatua commented on DRILL-3958: ------------------------------------- [~rajrahul] since I am unable to assign this to you, I've made myself the assignee and marked the JIRA in REVIEWABLE state for tracking purposes. > Improve error message when JDBC driver not found > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: DRILL-3958 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-3958 > Project: Apache Drill > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Client - HTTP > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Reporter: Uwe Geercken > Assignee: Kunal Khatua > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 1.13.0 > > > When setting up a storage definition for JDBC in the Drill web UI, the > appropriate driver has to be available in the 3rdparty folder before defining > the storage, otherwise an error is displayed. > The error message refers to a JSON mapping error which is completely > inappropriate in this case, because the error is the missing JDBC driver in > the 3rdparty folder and not the JSON mapping. > I request to change the error message to something appropriate that the > class/driver referred to could not be found (like for example: > com.mysql.jdbc.Driver) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
