[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-811) Auto-detect MySQL-Java connector

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-811?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13647120#comment-13647120 ] 

Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-811:
-----------------------------------------

Sorry for the belated reply, but after thinking about this for a little while I think I'm against the harvesting approach that is currently in the first half of bigtop-detect-classpath. First of all this script would have to be run under the bigtop user for it to work properly and second of all I don't think it belongs to the same script that we'd recommend users to source unconditionally.

> 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.
