Merge MetaStoreListener and HiveMetaHook interfaces ---------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2720 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2720 Project: Hive Issue Type: Sub-task Reporter: Enis Soztutar Assignee: Enis Soztutar MetaStoreListener and HiveMetaHook both serve as a notification mechanism for metastore-related events. The former is used by hcat and the latter is by the hbase-storage handler, and invoked by the client. I propose to merge these interfaces, and extend the MetaStoreListener, to add most of the on- and pre- methods at the Thrift interface. This way, extending metastore will be easier, and validation, storage-driver notification, and enforcement can be delegated to individual listeners. Besides, more functionality can be plugged-in by Hcat at this level. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
