Accessing the RDBMS directly isn't recommended. We don't view the table
layout as part of the public API and sometimes change things between
releases. With the thrift API we at least try to keep it backwards
compatible.

What is your hive metastore is on?
If it is on an RDBMS, then you can simply use client/JDBC tools to access
the metastore. Pretty simple.

Hi all,
I want to interact with HiveMetaStore table from code and was looking
at
http://hive.apache.org/javadocs/r0.13.1/api/metastore/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/HiveMetaStoreClient.html
, was wondering if this is the correct way to do this or should I use
a jdbc client. If HiveMetaStoreClient is the right way then how do I
create a client given a hive-site.xml,
Thanks,
J
