Venkatesh Seetharam commented on FALCON-108:
--------------------------------------------
There are quite a few limitations today to be used in Falcon.
* Api does not return the table type, External or Managed, required for Eviction
* There is no partition filter API in webhcat, again required for evicting
candidate partitions. The current API returns all partitions and server could
run OOM
* Does not support proxy doAs, which is required for secure falcon since
webhcat itself acts as a proxy for Hive
* webhcat does not use Hive/HCatalog API but uses bin scripts which needs Hive,
Hadoop and HCatalog t o be installed and env exported. This is a major
limitation for Falcon integration tests which brings up these services when
int-tests run
> HCat integration is additionally done via http

> HCat integration is currently done through thrift interface (FALCON-96).
> Though the WebHCat implementation is coded up, it is yet to be tested or
> integrated. It would be good to have that done.
