Hi Tomer, Generally speaking the Hive Metastore can run on top of any datastore that supports JDBC, and many people have used MySQL for this purpose. The Metatore Admin page on the Hive wiki has more information about the different configuration options: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/AdminManual/MetastoreAdmin
Hope this helps.
