Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-4993:
--------------------------------------
The HCat docs are all converted to wikidocs. You can find them here:

** Load and Store Interfaces:

** Storage Based Authorization:
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+Authorization]
Some of them need review & revision. In particular:
# Installation
([https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+Install]) starts
with this disclaimer:
#* "This information is adapted from the HCatalog 0.5.0 installation
instructions. Now that HCatalog is part of the Hive project, it is installed
with Hive and therefore much of the information below is obsolete. Furthermore,
there is no such thing as 'HCatalog 0.11.0' although that fiction has been
substituted below for 'HCatalog 0.5.0' — until this wikidoc is revised to
reflect current realities, you should be skeptical of what you read here."
# Load and Store has obsolete version numbers for jars
([https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+LoadStore#HCatalogLoadStore-JarsandConfigurationFiles])
so I just called them 0.5.0 examples but they should be updated:
#* The version number found in each filepath will be substituted for *. For
example, HCatalog release 0.5.0 uses these jars and conf files:
#** $HCAT_HOME/share/hcatalog/hcatalog-core-0.5.0.jar
#** $HCAT_HOME/share/hcatalog/hcatalog-pig-adapter-0.5.0.jar
#** $HIVE_HOME/lib/hive-metastore-0.10.0.jar
#** $HIVE_HOME/lib/libthrift-0.7.0.jar
#** $HIVE_HOME/lib/hive-exec-0.10.0.jar
#** $HIVE_HOME/lib/libfb303-0.7.0.jar
#** $HIVE_HOME/lib/jdo2-api-2.3-ec.jar
#** $HIVE_HOME/conf
#** $HADOOP_HOME/conf
#** $HIVE_HOME/lib/slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
# Storage Formats
([https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+StorageFormats])
might need updates for two sentences:
#* "SerDes are provided for RCFile, CSV text, JSON text, and SequenceFile
formats." --- What about ORC?
#* "However, Hive does not know where to find the HCatalog jar by default, ..."
--- Is that still true?
# Authorization's section on Minimum Permissions
([https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HCatalog+Authorization#HCatalogAuthorization-MinimumPermissions])
has needed more information since it first appeared, but nobody had time for
it.
