[jira] [Updated] (BIGTOP-811) Add /var/lib/bigtop as a location to install SQL connectors and other plug-ins

["Sean Mackrory (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Sean Mackrory updated BIGTOP-811:
---------------------------------

    Summary: Add /var/lib/bigtop as a location to install SQL connectors and other plug-ins  (was: Auto-detect MySQL-Java connector)

Just changing the title of the JIRA to reflect the narrower focus. BIGTOP-939 is a larger change that will make more dynamic "auto-detection" more consistently possible - at which time I'll revisit the issue of auto-detecting packages like RHEL 6's mysql-connector-java. I think adding /var/lib/bigtop as I have is a good first step for now.

> For components that require the installation of additional artifacts that Bigtop cannot distribute (due to license incompatability or other issues), Bigtop should provide both a standardized location to which the artifacts can be installed, and the ability to auto-detect the locations to which they may already be installed.
> Specifically, Sqoop and Hive (and possibly other components) require the installation of the MySQL-Java connector when using MySQL for imports, exports, or metadata storage. This needs to be done by copying the JAR to a directory that is already in the classpath for those components (such as /usr/lib/sqoop/lib and /usr/lib/hive/lib). Some repositories distribute packages that install the jar to /usr/share/java.
