Jakob Homan updated HCATALOG-14:
--------------------------------
Attachment: hcat-git.patch
Attached patch adds hive as a git submodule, which gits it to build for me
under git. Also adds a git-init ant task which would be necessary initially.
Git submodules aren't exactly the same as svn externs, particularly in that you
can't point them at specific revisions (per my reading), so this will work as
long as we're tracking with trunk. Cutting release branches will be more
difficult, but I think this patch should go in to save developers from svn hell.
I cloned the hcat repository at https://github.com/jghoman/hcatalog and applied
this patch, if anyone wants to test it. I had trouble applying it against the
svn checkout as this patch tries to create hive/extern, which already exists.
But this shouldn't cause a problem.
I'm not a git expert, so there may be issues I'm not aware of, but this works
for me.

> There's a Git mirror of the HCatalog SVN repository available here:
> git://git.apache.org/hcatalog.git
> However, right now it's not possible to build HCatalog using the Git mirror
> because of the svn:external dependency on Hive:
> % ant
> Buildfile: /Users/carl/Work/repos/hcatalog/build.xml
> hive.jar:
> BUILD FAILED
> /Users/carl/Work/repos/hcatalog/build.xml:202: Basedir
> /Users/carl/Work/repos/hcatalog/hive/external does not exist
> Total time: 0 seconds
