Hi, We are trying to implement caching of HiveMetastoreClient in HCatalog. And we were wondering if HiveMetastoreClient is threadsafe? Looking at the code it's a relatively thin wrapper around the thrift client. So it looks like it all depends on wether a thrift client is meant to be threadsafe or not? Which I don't know the answer to either. If a Hive or Thrift guru could shed some light on this that'd be great.
