> The binary distribution contains all the required elements to be able to run Hive in a cluster. It can be obtained by building from source using the following command:
> {code:java}
> mvn clean package -DskipTests -Pdist{code}
> The binary distribution is also published during a release along with the source code.
>  
> In current master, commit 8572c1201e1d483eb03c7e413f4ff7f9b6f4a3d2, the binary distribution includes the following JDBC drivers:
>  * derby-10.14.1.0.jar
>  * postgresql-42.2.14.jar
>  * ojdbc8-21.3.0.0.jar
>  * mssql-jdbc-6.2.1.jre8.jar
>  * mysql-connector-java-8.0.27.jar
> JDBC drivers are needed:
>  * by schemaTool to initialize the database backend for the Metastore
>  * by metastore to communicate with underlying database
> so if we want Hive to work out of the box we have to provide at least one.
> The Oracle (ojdbc8) and MySQL (mysql-connector-java) drivers must be removed cause their license is not compatible with Apache License 2 (see [category x|https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-x]).
> Previous Hive releases (e.g., 3.1.2) are not affected since they only contain:
>  * derby-10.14.1.0.jar
>  * postgresql-9.4.1208.jre7.jar
> The additional drivers that appear in the binary distribution are a side effect of HIVE-25701.
