Hi, I am a bit lost. Per previous messages, Hive requires MapReduce. So, MapReduce must be required for full function. I can see that MapReduce is not required if you don't use the Hive functionality.
The Jira Hans pointed to seems to suggest to use MapReduce in lieu of YARN, which must mean MRv1 since MRv2 is part of YARN. >From what I now understand, you install Hive and whatever version of MapReduce you want to use for Hive. However, YARN is required for some of the backup/restore capabilities so you always need to install MRv2 (since its part of YARN). So, MRv1 is relevant ONLY IF your installation is using MRv1 for Hive processing. Did I get that right? I don't think it's wise to discuss exceptions such as "you don't need MapReduce if you don't plan to use Hive via Trafodion" in the first revision of the Trafodion Provisioning Guide. Too many angles dancing on a needle's head. Instead, let's keep the requirements as simple as we can.
