> Hive/Oozie (and possibly other components in the future) make use of a relational database to store its metadata.
> When the user wants to use an existing, external database, it's easy to mistype the credentials/JDBC string. Currently, such mistakes are not caught until service install or start, at which point it's a pain to reconfigure and fix the issue.
> API should expose the ability to check database connectivity given the JDBC connection string, username, and password, so that the UI can expose this to the end user in the Customize Services page.
