Description

Currently we are adding /usr/share/java/*.jar to common.loader in Sqoop2 catalina.properties.
This causes unexpected libraries to end up on the classpath, which currently causes problems.
This was added as a convenient feature, so users wouldn't have to do anything else other than install drivers and it would be accessible automatically by Sqoop2.

Instead users should explicitly copy or symlink the driver jars under /var/lib/sqoop2/*.jar , which is an isolated directory especially made for this purpose.
