Hi all, I have a requirement that every time some change on metastore takes place, we have some logic which needs to be run. For example, if a new table is getting created in metastore I want to send a message to a message bus. Easiest way for this to work is to add the logic in createTable(). Control it by a hiveConf param and turn it off by default. Alternative way is via hooks. Have this extra logic in hook and then load and fire the hook if its available. Does anyone has an opinion which of these two is preferable. Second one requires new hook loading and execution logic. I am currently interested in four functions: createTable() dropTable() addPartition() dropPartition(). Current, HiveMetaHook which exists in createTable() doesn't perfectly fit the bill, since it is fired only when user expresses it in his create table statement (i.e., if he has specified a storage handler) Instead I want to have this logic always run. If it is unclear, let me know, I can post the code which can demonstrate my usecase.
