Pradeep Kamath updated HIVE-1428:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: TestHiveMetaStoreRemote.java

I have tried writing a unit test based on the existing one in TestHiveMetastore 
which starts off a thrift server. Unfortunately I have hit issues since some if 
the ant properties like build.dir do not get expanded in the conf seen by the 
server leading to error. I am attaching the Test file - can someone suggest how 
I can resolve this and if there is any other test which has attempted something 
similar.

Here is the exception I see:
{noformat}
2Codec, fs.checkpoint.size=67108864}
    [junit] MetaException(message:Got exception: java.io.FileNotFoundException 
File file:/test/data/warehouse/compdb.db does not exist.)
    [junit]     at 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.ThriftHiveMetastore$create_database_result.read(ThriftHiveMetastore.java:2751)
    [junit]     at 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.api.ThriftHiveMetastore$Client.recv_create_database(ThriftHiveMetastore.java:127)

    [junit]     at 
org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStoreClient.createDatabase(HiveMetaStoreClient.java:270)
{noformat}

Here is the value in the conf as seen by the server:
 hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=file://${build.dir}/test/data/warehouse/
