dclim opened a new pull request #6497: include mysql-metadata-storage extension in distribution, but without…
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-druid/pull/6497
 
 
   … the GPL-licensed connector library
   
   Our posts didn't generate a whole lot of discussion on best practices for this, so we felt to go ahead and modify the way we package the MySQL library to match the way it's done in other Apache projects (e.g. Apache Hive) so it doesn't hold up the release.
   
   Rather than creating the binary distribution without the `mysql-metadata-storage` extension and then requiring users to download the extension separately, we are packaging the extension with the rest of the binary distribution alongside the other core extensions but without the offending GPL library. There are some instructions in the exception that is very visibly thrown on startup about what needs to be done, and we will add more instructions to our web page (similar to what we already do on http://druid.io/downloads) in a way that is in alignment with Apache's legal guidance.
