Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-16908:
---------------------------------------------
After co-opting this JIRA so that I could provide an alternative fix, I've
reset ownership back to [~sbeeram].
Rather than rewrite the test to launch the target metastore in a separate
process, I have reworded the failing tests without changing their intention. In
the places where calls to the source and target metastores are interleaved, I
fetch a new HMS client.
Fixing the static-state in the metastore is a larger problem that should be
addressed separately.
[~sbeeram], I wonder if you might find this satisfactory.

> Some of the tests in TestHCatClient.java, for ex:
> {noformat}
> org.apache.hive.hcatalog.api.TestHCatClient.testPartitionRegistrationWithCustomSchema
> (batchId=177)
> org.apache.hive.hcatalog.api.TestHCatClient.testPartitionSpecRegistrationWithCustomSchema
> (batchId=177)
> org.apache.hive.hcatalog.api.TestHCatClient.testTableSchemaPropagation
> (batchId=177)
> {noformat}
> are failing due to HIVE-16844. HIVE-16844 fixes a connection leak when a new
> configuration object is set on the ObjectStore. TestHCatClient fires up a
> second instance of metastore thread with a different conf object that results
> in the PersistenceMangaerFactory closure and hence tests fail.
