             Summary: CLONE - pig -useHCatalog with embedded metastore fails to pass command line args to metastore (org.apache.hive.hcatalog version)
                 Key: HIVE-7901
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7901
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HCatalog
    Affects Versions: 0.11.0, 0.12.0, 0.13.0, 0.14.0
            Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan
            Assignee: Eric Hanson
             Fix For: 0.13.0


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.
