Sergey Shelukhin created HIVE-5299: -------------------------------------- Summary: allow exposing metastore APIs from HiveServer2 with embedded metastore Key: HIVE-5299 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5299 Project: Hive Issue Type: New Feature Components: HiveServer2, Metastore Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
There are (at least) two reasons to run metastore as a standalone service, rather than embedding it - access by non-hive clients, as well as miscellaneous advantages of a central service such as DB connection caching, etc. If HiveServer2 is used, as far as I see, the latter do not require a standalone metastore (there's already a central service into which metastore could be embedded). However, the former still does. We should consider exposing metastore APIs from HiveServer2 (configurable on/off) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
