Difference between Local Hive Metastore server and A Hive-based Metastore server

[Divya Gehlot <di...@gmail.com>]

Hi,
I am new bee to spark and using 1.4.1
Got confused between  Local Metastore server and a hive based metastore
server.
Can somebody share the usecases when to use which one  and pros and cons ?

I am using HDP 2,.3.2 in which hive-site-xml is already in spark
configuration directory that means HDP 2.3.2 already uses hive based
metastore server.

You mean local vs remote, right?  Usually, local or embedded would mean you
are doing some ad-hoc stuff and you are not persisting your metadata.
Typically, people set up a remote metastore which can be accessed from one
or more hive clients so that metadata can be persisted (in some database)
and reused.
