Description

Currently the user is required to put the JDBC driver (for Oracle/MySQL) under /usr/share/java on both the Oozie server host and the Hive Metastore host.
It would be easier for the user to just place the JDBC jar fies under a subdirectory of /var/lib/ambari-server/resources and have the agents download them.
Also, we want to expose the check on the UI side (pre-Deploy) to make sure that if the user selected "Existing Oracle/MySQL" option for Hive/Oozie that the necessary JDBC driver files are there on the aforementioned Ambari server resources dir.
