> 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?
