Hey, First off, @Ankur, great work so far on the patch. This probably is not an efficient way of doing mass dumps to DB (but why would you want to do that anyway when you have HDFS?), but it hits the sweetspot for my particular use case (storing aggregates to interface with a webapp). I was able to apply the patch cleanly and build. I had a question about actually using the DBStorage UDF, namely where I have to keep the JDBC driver? I was wondering if it would be possible to simply bundle it in the same jar as the UDF itself, but I know that Hadoop's DBOutputFormat requires a local copy of the driver on each machine. Any pointers?
