Hi Okumin, I love this initiative. Especially every good platform should be pluggable. In my mind the HMS should be just one option that the user can choose from. Yes, that will be the default, but the world is way more open now, and we need to provide the choice of freedom. If you or others want to choose a different megastore it should be easy.
Both option1 and option2 are acceptable. (Maybe the first one is easier, just need another factory, which are so boring :) ) Thank you for your PR and work. I will also check it soon. -Attila On Fri, Oct 13, 2023 at 5:04 PM Okumin <m...@okumin.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm working on introducing a feature to make IMetaStoreClient pluggable. > I'm sending this e-mail to gather opinions in a visible manner because it > has controversial points. > > Some Hive users need the feature in order to integrate Hive with a data > catalog other than HMS.
