[jira] [Created] (KNOX-817) Gateway service defintion for Avatica

Josh Elser created KNOX-817:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Gateway service defintion for Avatica
                 Key: KNOX-817
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KNOX-817
             Project: Apache Knox
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Josh Elser
             Fix For: 0.11.0


Apache Avatica, an Apache Calcite sub-project, is an HTTP-based JDBC server and corresponding JDBC driver (which uses that server). It is meant to act as a proxy to some database. Avatica is presently used by a number of projects, Apache Phoenix and Apache Drill to name two prominent ones, and has a number of community-developed drivers in languages other than Java.

As far as authentication goes, Avatica only provides authentication based on the authentication capabilities of the database. Knox is a natural fit for Avatica, specifically the centralized authentication, SSL support, and auditing are all enticing features.

With the help of [~lmccay] (and https://github.com/moresandeep/knox-dev-docker), I got some service files working very quickly. Would be nice to contribute these back to enable Phoenix, Drill and others to use Knox out of the box.
