-----------------------------------------
Summary: Hive client to talk to the metastore
Key: FALCON-96
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-96
Project: Falcon
Issue Type: Sub-task
Affects Versions: 0.3
Reporter: Venkatesh Seetharam
There are 2 choices: RPC using thrift and HTTP using webhcat. HTTP of course is
preferable but there are a few issues with it:
* Uses cli to talk to the server implying needing Hcat install and client. This
is a PITA for integration-tests.
* Also, there is no java wrapper around the RESTful APIs which returns Map and
such. Need to roll our own.
* Runs as a separate daemon (which should eventually fold into metastore or
HiveServer2). However this is short-term and a minor annoyance.
