Alan, We are looking into integrating with the HCatalog and I have the following questions:
1. In your opinion, how stable is the HCatalog? 2. On the install page it mentions the creation of the hive metastore db. What if we are already using Hive and have an existing metastore db in MySQL? What versions of Hive is the HCatalog compatible with?
