Suma Shivaprasad commented on ATLAS-606: ---------------------------------------- >From investigations of the code , The existing Hive client that we use is better than HiveMetaStoreClient since it is using HSMC internally with thread safety, caching the HMSC in a THreadLocal instance and also handles retries when calls fail. > Change from Hive thrift interface to Hive MetastoreClient > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: ATLAS-606 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ATLAS-606 > Project: Atlas > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Suma Shivaprasad > Assignee: Suma Shivaprasad > Fix For: 0.7-incubating > > > The reason to switch would be > a.
