[jira] [Created] (FALCON-96) Hive client to talk to the metastore

Venkatesh Seetharam created FALCON-96:
-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Hive client to talk to the metastore
                 Key: FALCON-96
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-96
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Sub-task
    Affects Versions: 0.3
            Reporter: Venkatesh Seetharam


There are 2 choices: RPC using thrift and HTTP using webhcat. HTTP of course is preferable but there are a few issues with it:
* Uses cli to talk to the server implying needing Hcat install and client. This is a PITA for integration-tests.
* Also, there is no java wrapper around the RESTful APIs which returns Map and such. Need to roll our own. 
* Runs as a separate daemon (which should eventually fold into metastore or HiveServer2). However this is short-term and a minor annoyance.

Thoughts?
