Hi All, I'm using PostgreSQL for Hive metastore in production. As far as I know MySQL has limitations on constraints in unicode environments. I remember Hive could not create metastore schema automatically with MySQL, Innodb and UTF-8 encoding environment. so I switched PostgreSQL for metastore.
Actually, it works with PostgreSQL. but first time when one run hive cli with PostgreSQL, there are problems on creating metastore schema because JDO does not work well with PostgreSQL. I created the metastore schema manually. after that, everything works fine.
