[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (TEIID-143) Query should 'find' connector types and jars rather than have them predefined in the config.

[Ramesh Reddy (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12454339#action_12454339 ] 

Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-143:
------------------------------------

The requirements are 

1) It must be discoverable, should be able define them without modifications to other parts of system
2) Prefer to inherit common properties, so that the all connector specific properties can be defined in one place 
3) Should be able to load dependent jars in non-delegating class loader
4) Should be able to define the third party dependencies externally to the artifact (CAF includes them, but should have option to specify externally, if needed)
5) Preferably single artifact (Like CAF)


The comment above in one solution, where CAF file includes the type information and all the necessary jars. But this does not satisfy (4). We could additionally support ".cdk" files in a directory along with their dependencies  to support the item (4).

> Currently, dqp as delived with Designer is preconfigured with connector types.  I think it should discover the connectors that are available upon startup.  This would make it easier to add connectors to a kit.  The current process for adding a connector to a kit is manual and error prone.  We have problems with it on nearly every release.  
> This is also an attractive feature for embedding query in other environments.
