Hello, Alan. Thanks for getting this going. From HIVE-4145, it looks like HCatalog trunk code is moving into hive-trunk, and the HCatalog release branches stay where they are. Is that right? (It would make sense not to destabilize the current releases for this. Moving into Hive is a fairly tectonic event. :])
Arup and I have a couple of patches in flight: 1. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-609: Atomic AddPartition event. Depends on HIVE-3938 (Hive metastore changes for the same). 2. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-627: Thread-safety for NotificationListener. (Preferably in that order.) If HCatalog release branches aren't being moved, then we can get those patches into branch-5 even after HCat-trunk has moved into Hive-trunk.

I have published a proposal for how to move the code in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4198 Comments are welcome there. Once this move is done all patches against HCat will be invalid and will require regeneration. I will attempt today and tomorrow to check-in, review, or return to open all JIRAs that currently are patch available in order to avoid invalidating them. Assuming my proposal in HIVE-4198 is accepted I will then need to lock down the repo for a day or two until I get all of the moving around done. Alan.
