I changed METASTORE_CLINT_CLASS to METASTORE_CLIENT_IMPL and metastore.client.class to metastore.client.impl. --- > how about a new property to configure those mappings? e.g, `metastore.client.meta.class.mappings`=`catalog:client_classname,catalog.db(or db_pattern):client_classname,catalog.db.table:client_classname` Regarding the mapping, if there were no ThriftHiveMetaStoreClient-related logic in HiveMetaStoreClient, I think I could implement a mapping from a catalog to the actual client. However, due to that logic, I don't currently have a clear design to support it. Let me think more about a better design and share my thoughts once I’ve summarized them. --- Another thought I had is that if we eventually implement HIVE-28879, we may not need this configuration key to specify either a single class or a mapping, since the relevant information would be stored in the MetaStore backend database. Given that we likely have enough time before the next release, I'm unsure about the feasibility of introducing a temporary configuration key that won't appear in any release. What do you think about keeping this patch as a fallback option in case HIVE-28879 isn't ready in time for the next release, and proceeding directly with HIVE-28879 for now? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
