Rui Li updated FLINK-20572:
---------------------------
Description: Currently HiveCatalog is the only implementation that supports
persistent metadata. It's possible that users just want to use HiveCatalog to
manage metadata, and doesn't intend to read/write Hive tables. However
HiveCatalog is part of Hive connector which requires lots of Hive dependencies,
and introducing these dependencies increases the chance of lib conflicts. We
should investigate whether we can move HiveCatalog to a light-weight standalone
module.
