okumin opened a new pull request, #4444: URL: https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/4444
### What changes were proposed in this pull request? Make it possible to replace the default IMetaStoreClient with a custom one. It is the third time to try to send this patch. Austin originally opened [HIVE-12679](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12679) in 2016, and @moomindani tried to send his patch in #1402, and then I took over it again. ### Why are the changes needed? In some environments, we want to connect to another data catalog rather than the native Hive Metastore. Looks like, [AWS Glue Data Catalog](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-glue-data-catalog-client-for-apache-hive-metastore/blob/branch-3.4.0/aws-glue-datacatalog-hive3-client/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/glue/catalog/metastore/AWSCatalogMetastoreClient.java) is one of the cases. We also have a similar case. As we can see, more than 40 people are watching [HIVE-12679](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12679), and some of them have asked us about the progress of this ticket. I'm sure it is worth maintaining this feature. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? This doesn't change the original behavior at all. ### Is the change a dependency upgrade? No ### How was this patch tested? I tested HiveServer2 still works with this patch. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
