jojochuang opened a new pull request, #5731:
URL: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/5731
### Description of PR
mysql-connector-java is GPL licensed. It was included as an optional feature
in HDFS RBF.
Fortunately, it looks like we do not need to take compile dependency on it
at all. Users who wish to use the feature will need to add it to the runtime
classpath.
### How was this patch tested?
Built successfully; HDFS RBF unit tests passed.
### For code changes:
- [ ] Does the title or this PR starts with the corresponding JIRA issue id
(e.g. 'HADOOP-17799. Your PR title ...')?
- [ ] Object storage: have the integration tests been executed and the
endpoint declared according to the connector-specific documentation?
- [ ] If adding new dependencies to the code, are these dependencies
licensed in a way that is compatible for inclusion under [ASF
2.0](http://www.apache.org/legal/resolved.html#category-a)?
- [ ] If applicable, have you updated the `LICENSE`, `LICENSE-binary`,
`NOTICE-binary` files?

> While preparing for 3.3.6 RC, I realized the mysql-connector-java dependency
> added by HADOOP-18535 is GPL licensed.
> Source: https://github.com/mysql/mysql-connector-j/blob/release/8.0/LICENSE
> See legal discussion at LEGAL-423.
> I looked at the original jira and github PR and I don't think the license
> issue was noticed.
> Is it possible to get rid of the mysql connector dependency? As far as I can
> tell the dependency is very limited.
> If not, I guess I'll have to revert the commits for now.
