Allowing Hive's metastore when it runs as a thrift service to run as a pure
metadata service and not perform any filesystem operations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1588
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1588
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Metastore
Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
To integrate with Secure Hadoop, filesystem accesses would require an auth
token, which has an expiry. Thus, if we were running hive with a thrift
metastore server, the server process would need to frequently renew tokens.
One potential way of dealing with that is to have the metastore server be a
pure metadata service, and not perform any filesystem operations, which is
taking the approach HIVE-1476 takes a step further, extending it for reads as
well as writes.
