Yes, sorry, I wasn't clear. As others have stated, HiveMetaStoreClient
uses the thrift API. So using that should be fine.

Hi Jerrick,
HiveMetastoreClient will be using thrift communication internally via
the connection. IMO It is no different from using thrift api.

Ok, I'm super confused now. The hive metastore is a RDBMS database. I
totally agree that I shouldn't access it directly via jdbc. So what
about using this class
http://hive.apache.org/javadocs/r0.13.1/api/metastore/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/HiveMetaStoreClient.html
? Is it something that can only be used
If not I can definitely use the thrift api. Just wanted to ask this
before going the thrift route because this class seems like the
perfect tool for me,
Thanks
