Venkatesh Seetharam commented on FALCON-96:
-------------------------------------------
Well, I left it in there so if I can get some help from HCat team to add what
we need. I'll clean it up if you want it here or before I commit it. I may need
both when I get to retention.
bq. So are we able to support both and leave it to users to pick something of
their choice ? This is really nice.
Thats more than what I can do now. Lets leave that to another jira.
bq. Should we also add unit tests for WebHCat based catalog service in the
integration tests ?
It does not work and you know that. :-)

> There are 2 choices: RPC using thrift and HTTP using webhcat. HTTP of course
> is preferable but there are a few issues with it:
> * Uses cli to talk to the server implying needing Hcat install and client.
> This is a PITA for integration-tests.
> * Also, there is no java wrapper around the RESTful APIs which returns Map
> and such. Need to roll our own.
> * Runs as a separate daemon (which should eventually fold into metastore or
> HiveServer2). However this is short-term and a minor annoyance.
> Thoughts?
