Is that just for Service or for Measure as well? As far as understand, Spark relies on direct metastore availability, and there is no good way around it for Measure.
If that's just for Service, it might be tricky to parse out all column metadata correctly, as there might be differences in the way how particular hive versions format output. There seems to be another option -- WebHCat exposes database and table information in API <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference> and it's supposed to be available for end users. In either case it feels like this mechanism should be pluggable, to maintain compatibility with existing installations.
