In thinking about approaching the Hive community to accept HCatalog as a subproject one thing that came out is it would be useful to have a roadmap for HCatalog. This will help the Hive community understand what HCatalog is and plans to be.
It is also good for us as a community to discuss this. And it is good for potential contributors and users to understand what we want HCatalog to be. Pig did this when it was a young project and it helped us tremendously. I have published a proposed roadmap at https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/HCatalog+Roadmap Please provide feedback on items I have put there plus any you believe that should be added. Alan.
