Alexander Kolbasov commented on HIVE-17751:
-------------------------------------------
Looks like we can use reflection to deal with embedded metastore. Something
along these lines:
{code}
//
// instantiate the metastore server handler directly instead of connecting
// through the network
//
// The code below simulates the following code
//
// client = HiveMetaStore.newRetryingHMSHandler("hive client", this.conf,
true);
//
// using reflection API. This is done to avoid dependency of
MetastoreClient on Hive Metastore.
// Note that newRetryingHMSHandler is static method, so we pass null as
the object reference.
//
try {
Class<?> clazz = Class.forName(HIVE_METASTORE_CLASS);
//noinspection JavaReflectionMemberAccess
Method method = clazz.getMethod(HIVE_METASTORE_CREATE_HANDLER_METHOD,
String.class, Configuration.class, Boolean.TYPE);
client =
(ThriftHiveMetastore.Iface)method.invoke(null, "hive client",
this.conf, true);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException
| NoSuchMethodException
| InvocationTargetException
| IllegalAccessException e) {
throw new MetaException(e.getMessage());
}
{code}
> Separate HMS Client and HMS server into separate sub-modules

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Standalone Metastore
> Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar

>
> external applications which are interfacing with HMS should ideally only
> include HMSClient library instead of one big library containing server as
> well. We should ideally have a thin client library so that cross version
> support for external applications is easier. We should sub-divide the
> standalone module into possibly 3 modules (one for common classes, one for
> client classes and one for server) or 2 sub-modules (one for client and one
> for server) so that we can generate separate jars for HMS client and server.
