There was a very unfortunate typo in my email -- I meant to say: "I would NOT recommend Derby". The reason being is that Puppet code is meant to handle a more of a serious type of deployment not just a quick-and-dirty type of provisioning that is useful during the edit-compile-debug cycle. The biggest issue with how Hive uses derby is that there's a sort of a race condition -- whoever runs Hive in that configuration first ends up owning the actual Unix files for the Derby state. Thanks, Roman.
