It seems we have settled into a consensus that this will be good for the ecosystem, but there are concerns that this will be a burden on Hive. The original proposal included a time to work on the separation inside the Hive project to help address any such issues. This would culminate in a source only release of the metastore inside Hive. I propose we start working on that internal separation now. I’ll file an umbrella JIRA for it soon.
