--------------------------------------------
The test failure is unrelated to this patch. Review request @

> Hive uses IMetaStoreClient and it makes using RetryingMetaStoreClient easy.
> Hence during a failure, the client retries and possibly succeeds. But
> HCatalog has long been using HiveMetaStoreClient directly and hence failures
> are costly, especially if they are during the commit stage of a job. Its also
> not possible to do rolling upgrade of MetaStore Server.
