Sahil Takiar commented on HIVE-19104:
-------------------------------------

{quote} The purpose of the MetaStoreTestUtils is to allow easy metastore 
instance creation for tests and the user should not have to bother with 
details, like making the jdbc url independent {quote} Ok, then why do we just 
set {{javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL}} inside {{MetaStoreTestUtils}} rather 
than doing the string replacement? Are there any tests that require a custom 
defined JDBC URL? If there are, can we just make separate helper methods for 
them in {{MetaStoreTestUtils}}. Another approach to find a way to properly 
parse the connection URL and extract out the database name, and then append the 
port number. However, I don't think there is a standardized way to parse JDBC 
URLs.

A few other comments:

Can the following code just be moved into a {{BeforeClass}} block?

{code}
if (conf == null) {
     conf = MetastoreConf.newMetastoreConf();
}
{code}

Why is {{MetastoreConf.newMetastoreConf(new Configuration(this.conf));}} 
necessary? Can't it just be {{MetastoreConf.newMetastoreConf(this.conf);}}

> When multiple MetaStore instances are started with 
> {{MetaStoreTestUtils.startMetaStoreWithRetry}} currently they use the same 
> JDBC url, and warehouse directory. This can cause problem in the tests
