It depends on how you configure the system. If you are using HS2 you can configure it to talk directly to the metastoredb (by providing it with the JDBC connection information and setting the metastore thrift url to localhost) or to talk through a metastore server instance (by not providing the JDBC credentials to the metastore db and configuring the thrift url with the address of the metastore server).
