Description

Currently there is no way of knowing how to enable native scheduler in falcon.
I am trying to enable the same and faced following challenges :

1. How to enable falcon to use mysql db.
2. Is there any dependency on specific mysql version.
3. Is falcon bundled with mysql-connector jar or user has to explicitly provide.
4. Can oozie and falcon db exist at same time in mysql.
5. Can two falcon servers point to same db.
6. Any database need to be created in mysql before starting falcon. If so , is there any specific name chosen for the db to be given as a part of jdbc url.
7. Any other db that can be configured with falcon. Any scope defined for the same.
8. Is root user sufficient to create db or are there any specific falcon user required to create db. Any specific user credentials required.
