No issue as far as I can tell -- just an omission. There's a bit of complication
that I can foresee which is Hive metastore really benefits from a SQL
server behind it (I would recommend Derby). Thus if you really want to fix
it in a reliable way Bigtop puppet will have to handle deploying one of the
OS SQL servers (PostgreSQL perhaps?). I see there's a few puppet modules
available on the Forge for doing that:
http://forge.puppetlabs.com/modules?q=postgresql&commit=Go
It would be really nice if somebody could figure out how to get one work
in Bigtop (providing that licensing is compatible).
Thanks,
