Okay, an explanation of my idiocy for future idiots: It seemed like the documentation was saying running HCatalog was a necessary prerequisite, and it's not. I couldn't start the HCatalog server out of the box (I still can't...it complains about a lack of hive-site.xml), but running hive works (I think) just fine.
