Description

When an existing database option is selected for Hive / Oozie, the user must set up the JDBC driver on ambari-server.
However, this prerequisite step is not clear to the end user.
Let's display an info message upon selection of an existing database:
###
Be sure you have run ambari-server setup --jdbc-db=${dbtype} --jdbc-driver=/path/to/your/${dbtype}/driver.jar on the Ambari Server host to make the JDBC driver available and to enable testing the database connection.
###
Replace ${dbtype} in the above message with:
"postgres" if Existing PostgreSQL is selected
"mysql" if Existing MySQL is selected
"oracle" if Existing Oracle is selected
