Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-18449:
--------------------------------------
I see the value of the metastore selection policy to temporarily workaround
some bugs like one you mentioned.
As you pointed out this patch is a different use case from HIVE-18347.
HIVE-18347 is about how to retrieve the list of metastore uris, and this one is
about how to pick one from the list. I think it makes sense to address both
separately with different knobs.
> Add configurable policy for choosing the HMS URI from hive.metastore.uris

> HIVE-10815 added logic to randomly choose a HMS URI from
> {{hive.metastore.uris}}. It would be nice if there was a configurable policy
> that determined how a URI is chosen from this list - e.g. one option can be
> to randomly pick a URI, another option can be to choose the first URI in the
> list (which was the behavior prior to HIVE-10815).
