Nice idea and thanks for introducing me to that book, Andrew. Along the same lines, how about "Honeycomb"? But since the idea is to make the metastore useful for many projects, a generic name that starts with "Meta" would be less confusing ... even though it breaks the tradition of Apache projects having quirky names. Unfortunately "Metalog" is already in use. "Metamorph" has other connotations, but it's cool. Naming enthusiasm notwithstanding, I'm +/-0 on the idea of splitting off the metastore into a new project: -0.5 for the sake of Hive and +0.5 for the greater good. Wishy-washy, that's me. -- Lefty On Tue, Jul 11, 2017 at 1:04 PM, Andrew Sherman <asher...@cloudera.com> wrote: > On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 5:05 PM, Owen O'Malley <owen.omal...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > On Fri, Jun 30, 2017 at 3:26 PM, Chao Sun <sunc...@apache.org> wrote: > > > > > and maybe a different project name? > > > > > > > Yes, it certainly needs a new name.
