[jira] [Created] (HADOOP-18761) Revert HADOOP-18535 because mysql-connector-java is GPL

Wei-Chiu Chuang created HADOOP-18761:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Revert HADOOP-18535 because mysql-connector-java is GPL
                 Key: HADOOP-18761
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18761
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Task
            Reporter: Wei-Chiu Chuang


While preparing for 3.3.6 RC, I realized the mysql-connector-java dependency added by HADOOP-18535 is GPL licensed.


Source: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/blob/release/8.0/LICENSE 
See legal discussion at LEGAL-423.

I looked at the original jira and github PR and I don't think the license issue was noticed. 

Is it possible to get rid of the mysql connector dependency? As far as I can tell the dependency is very limited.

If not, I guess I'll have to revert the commits for now.
