[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=12455767#action_12455767 ] 

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

Greg: it is not question of restart of the server; but it is a question of distribution of patch jar; if we use Console or Admin Api, we are now tied to keeping them in sync across cluster (if they are not extension modules). I was trying to see if there was a way around it. In fact, we can possibly provide original modules as libraries and only provide patches as extensions, and that would work in hot-deploy situations.

Larry: Although I agree, VDBs and Connectors are like apples and oranges. We never patch a VDB, we re-deploy it. VDB's do not have external dependencies that may conflict, we do not have version concept in the connectors. etc. Your comment about about the DB is for another JIRA, I am strictly worried about packaging and its delivery and updatebility across tools.

OSGI and third party jar that is interesting, I do not know. Need to investigate.

> 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.
