Austin originally proposed HIVE-12679 and submitted the initial patch in 2016. @moomindani later resubmitted it in https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/1402, and then @okumin took it over in https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/4444. ### Why are the changes needed? <!-- Please clarify why the changes are needed. For instance, 1. If you propose a new API, clarify the use case for a new API. 2. If you fix a bug, you can clarify why it is a bug. --> In some scenarios, users may want to run Hive as a general-purpose execution engine on top of a third-party data catalog. For instance, [AWS Glue Data Catalog](https://github.com/awslabs/aws-glue-data-catalog-client-for-apache-hive-metastore) is an example of such usage, and there is also an open ticket to implement an Iceberg REST catalog (HIVE-28658). As noted in the previous PR (https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/4444), more than 40 people are watching HIVE-12679, which I believe reflects strong demand for using Hive in this more flexible architecture. Therefore, I believe it is worth completing this patch to support external data catalogs in Hive. ### Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change? <!-- Note that it means *any* user-facing change including all aspects such as the documentation fix. If yes, please clarify the previous behavior and the change this PR proposes - provide the console output, description, screenshot and/or a reproducable example to show the behavior difference if possible. If possible, please also clarify if this is a user-facing change compared to the released Hive versions or within the unreleased branches such as master. If no, write 'No'. --> No, users can use the existing HMS client without any changes in their configuration files. For the documentation fix, I will update hive-site once this patch is accepted and merged. ### How was this patch tested? <!-- If tests were added, say they were added here. Please make sure to add some test cases that check the changes thoroughly including negative and positive cases if possible. If it was tested in a way different from regular unit tests, please clarify how you tested step by step, ideally copy and paste-able, so that other reviewers can test and check, and descendants can verify in the future. If tests were not added, please describe why they were not added and/or why it was difficult to add. --> This patch includes two simple tests loading MetaStoreClient via `HiveMetaStoreClientFactory`. --- Note for those familiar with the earlier patch: - Regarding the design decision about MetaStoreClientFactory: This patch does not support a customizable MSC factory as the original patch did; instead, it supports a customizable MSC. In other words, this patch introduces `metastore.client.class`, not `metastore.client.factory.class`. I made this change not because I preferred this approach, but because I followed the majority opinion in the discussion [here]( https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/4444#pullrequestreview-1492711587). Personally, I think both approaches are valid and have their merits, and I do not have a strong opinion among them. I would appreciate it if you could share your thoughts on this decision. - Regarding RetryingMetaStoreClient and other classes that instantiate MetaStoreClient ([link](https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/4444#pullrequestreview-1687155221)): After resolving HIVE-27473, Hive now creates ThriftHiveMetaStoreClient only in `Hive.java` and `HiveMetaStoreClient`. Therefore, I believe it is sufficient to replace these two call sites with the new `HiveMetaStoreClientFactory`. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
