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

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/TEIID-143?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12455242#action_12455242 ] 

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

The concern with file based loading is, server keeps a copy of the jars in the DB. In cluster situation they can get out of sync.

If connectors does not need DB based extension class loading, we can make this this work. i.e. Connector are loaded during the startup, every cluster member defines their own connectors and their dependencies in their installation directories. This may be a good thing. However to patch a connector you would require manually copy the jar to each cluster member. Patching though Console or Admin api would be cumbersome, as they not be dealing same version of the Connector.

Another requirement I should add is

6) Package them easy enough to expose them as plugins in the eclipse, so that they can be used as sources for metadata importing and as well as use under Embedded execution in Designer as connectors.

> 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.
