Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1546:
--------------------------------------

bq. we've agreed at the high level on the approach of creating Howl as a 
wrapper around Hive

I thought Howl was supposed to be a wrapper around (and replacement for) the 
Hive metastore, not all of Hive.

I think there are clear advantages to Hive and Howl sharing the same metastore 
code as long as they access this facility through the public API, but can't say 
the same for the two projects using the same CLI code if it means allowing 
external projects to depend on loosely defined set of internal APIs. What 
benefits are we hoping to achieve by having Howl and Hive share the same CLI 
code, especially if Howl is only interested in a small part of it? What are the 
drawbacks of instead encouraging the Howl project to copy the CLI code and 
maintain their own version?
