[jira] [Commented] (CALCITE-5534) Add `userAgent` JDBC param to Avatica

["Julian Hyde (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CALCITE-5534?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17690676#comment-17690676 ] 

Julian Hyde commented on CALCITE-5534:
--------------------------------------

Is this for the remote driver or would it make sense for all connections? It would be a new value in BuiltInConnectionProperty or AvaticaRemoteConnectionProperty, depending.

Would people be allowed to add extra information (e.g. the client process ID) to the string?

Should the property be masked or hidden (as the password property is) when tracing etc.

> It could be beneficial to add a {{userAgent}} parameter to the JDBC URL recognized options. This {{userAgent}} value would be passed from the client to server as a {{User-Agent}} HTTP header overriding Avatica's current default of {{Apache-HttpClient/<version> (<java_version>)}}. This would allow Avatica servers to more easily identify requesting applications.
> Here's [Denodo's {{userAgent}} |https://community.denodo.com/docs/html/browse/6.0/vdp/administration/monitoring_the_virtual_dataport_server/monitoring_with_a_java_management_extensions_jmx_agent/setting_the_user_agent_of_an_application] as an example.
