I have opened https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5107 because I am growing tired of how long hive's build take.
I have started playing with this by creating a simple multi-module project and copying stuff as I go. I have ported a minimal shims and common and I have all the tests in common almost running. Q. This is going to be ugly hacky work for a while, I was thinking it should be a branch but it is just going to be a mess of moves and copies etc. Not really something you can diff etc. Is anyone else interested in working on this as well. If so I think we can just setup a github and I can arrange for anyone to have access to it.
