> This fails because the embedded metastore can't connect to the database because the command line -D arguments passed to pig are not getting passed to the metastore when the embedded metastore is created. Using hive.metastore.uris set to the empty string causes creation of an embedded metastore.
> pig -useHCatalog "-Dhive.metastore.uris=" "-Djavax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword=AzureSQLDBXYZ"
> The goal is to allow a pig job submitted via WebHCat to specify a metastore to use via job arguments. That is not working because it is not possible to pass Djavax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword and other necessary arguments to the embedded metastore.
