> Currently Hive uses the same scratch directory/path for all sorts of
> temporary and intermediate data. This is problematic:
> 1. Temporary location for writing out DDL output should just be temp file on
> local file system. This divorces the dependence of metadata and browsing
> operations on a functioning hadoop cluster.
> 2. Temporary location of intermediate map-reduce data should be the default
> file system (which is typically the hdfs instance on the compute cluster)
> 3. Temporary location for data that needs to be 'moved' into tables should be
> on the same file system as the table's location (table's location may not be
> same as hdfs instance of processing cluster).
> ie. - local storage, map-reduce intermediate storage and table storage should
> be distinguished. Without this distinction - using hive on environments like
> S3/EC2 causes problems. In such an environment - i would like to be able to:
> - do metadata operations without a provisioned hadoop cluster (using data
> stored in S3 and metastore on local disk)
> - attach to a provisioned hadoop cluster and run queries
> - store data back in tables that are created over s3 file system
