This sounds like something the documentation should cover. - What information should be added to the Local Mode<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+MetastoreAdmin#AdminManualMetastoreAdmin-LocalMetastore>section? - Should the wiki have a link to hive_test<https://github.com/edwardcapriolo/hive_test> (for example, in Hive Developer FAQ<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveDeveloperFAQ> )?
