Peter Vary commented on HIVE-16944:
-----------------------------------
Thanks for the patch [~bharos92]!
Is the URL, and the driver is only needed when the dbType is hive?
If you have time, it would be good to update the
[https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Hive+Schema+Tool] page with
the new parameters and usages. I know you are not the one who added them, but
it would be good to have anyway.
Thanks,
Peter

> Given the other ways schematool is used, the most obvious guess I would have

> schematool -metaDbType mysql -dbType hive -initSchema
> {code}
> Unfortunately that fails with this NPE:

> Two additional arguments are needed:
> -url jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default -driver
> org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver
> If the user does not supply these for dbType hive, schematool should detect
> and error out appropriately, plus give an example of what it's looking for.
