Sumanth,

If the driver is in your lib directory already then you should leave the path 
empty.  All jar’s in your lib directory are loaded in the classpath for all 
NAR’s.

Personally I have three different JDBC drivers in my lib directory to make them 
available for whoever needs them (MS SQL, SAP Hana, Teradata, and will add 
Oracle soon).

It would be nice if we support relative paths for driver jar. E.g., 
./lib/mariadb-java-client-1.1.7.jar
This let flow templet portable (dev -> prod)

For JDBC, if you are talking about the DBConnectionPool, you should be able to 
reference a driver as an external file such as 
file:///var/tmp/mariadb-java-client-1.1.7.jar<file:///\\var\tmp\mariadb-java-client-1.1.7.jar>'

If you are talking about something different besides the DBConnectionPool then 
it depends what processor/component...
If you look in the lib directory you will see all the NAR files, each NAR has 
one or more components along with all of the other JARs it needs, and each NAR 
has isolated class loading so that they will not interfere with each other.

You would need to figure out which NAR you are dealing with and add a 
dependency to one of the poms related to that NAR.

If I want to add a jdbc driver or any third party dependency where should I add 
that dependency in the Maven build for Nifi?

Thanks
