Hi all, The Hive Metastore server was originally added to the catalog server by Vihang Karajgaonkar in IMPALA-10613 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-10613> (Expose table and partition metadata over HMS API), followed by a few improvements.
But recently, due to changes in the Hive Metastore, we had to fix some tests (IMPALA-15110 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-15110>) in this area. Soon after that, we also had to fix the code to resolve a compilation error (IMPALA-15233 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-15233>). Since the HMS server is not actively used, I propose removing it from Impala's catalog server. Are there any objections to removing the HMS server from the Catalog server? Best regards, Fang-Yu Rao
