Hi Subroto, thanks for the suggestion, so I've read the api and looks like
setVar is the better way to go for me so I did this
HiveConf conf = new HiveConf();
conf.setVar(HiveConf.ConfVars.METASTOREURIS, "some-uri");
return new HiveMetaStoreClient(conf);
but I keep getting ` error: cannot access Configuration`. I have no idea
why this is happening, just wanted to point my HiveMetaStoreClient to my
HiveMetaStore service,
Would really appreciate if someone can help me out, thanks!
