You really don't want to do that. It becomes a nightmare in that you now ship a derivative of Hive and then have to maintain it and keep it in lock step w Hive from Apache.
There are other options and designs but since this is for a commercial product. I'm not going to talk about them. Keep in mind that Hive isn't a relational database per se and works on immutable flat files. So that's going to hurt you as well.
