Mark Grover commented on BIGTOP-961:
------------------------------------
Hi Roman, good point. I think for now it's ok for us to change the user to hive
user. Having 2 separate users would have puts some restrictions on the
permissions of hive warehouse directory on HDFS and the embedded derby file
based storage on local filesystem at the very least. Changing to hive user
should fix those.
I have been thinking about this a little more and I think moving forward, it
would be really nice to have a standalone RDBMS in Bigtop which we can use to
house all metastores (hive, oozie, hue, etc.) in Bigtop. I will create a
separate JIRA (for Bigtop 0.7) for that but when that happens, perhaps it would
make sense to revert back to HCat user since we would no longer be using
embedded derby and can easily manage the permissions of hive warehouse
directory on HDFS.
You have my +1 (non-committer).
