Description

In this mailing list thread from September 2015 "NIFI DBCP connection pool not working for hive" the main thrust of the converstation is to provide proper support for delivering data to hive. Hive's jdbc driver appears to have dependencies on Hadoop libraries. We need to be careful/thoughtful about how to best support this so that different versions of Hadoop distros can be supported (potentially in parallel on the same flow).
