I’m curious about if and when Spark SQL will ever remove its dependency on Hive Metastore. Now that Spark 2.1’s SparkSession has superseded the need for HiveContext, are there plans for Spark to no longer use the Hive Metastore service with a “SparkSchema” service with a PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc. DB backend? Hive is growing long in the tooth, and it would be nice to retire it someday.
