  === Remote Metastore ===
- In remote metastore setup, all Hive Clients will make a connection a metastore server which in turn queries the datastore (MySQL in this example) for metadata. Metastore server and client communicate using [[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift|Thrift]] Protocol. You can start a thrift server by executing the following command
+ In remote metastore setup, all Hive Clients will make a connection a metastore server which in turn queries the datastore (MySQL in this example) for metadata. Metastore server and client communicate using [[http://incubator.apache.org/thrift|Thrift]] Protocol. Starting with hive 0.5.0, you can start a thrift server by executing the following command
+ 
+ {{{
+ hive --service metastore
+ }}}
+ 
+ In versions of hive earlier than 0.5.0, it's instead necessary to run the thrift server via direct execution of Java:
  
  {{{
  $JAVA_HOME/bin/java  -Xmx1024m -Dlog4j.configuration=file://$HIVE_HOME/conf/hms-log4j.properties -Djava.library.path=$HADOOP_HOME/lib/native/Linux-amd64-64/ -cp $CLASSPATH org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaStore
  }}}
  
- JAVA_HOME, HIVE_HOME, HADOOP_HOME should be correctly set. CLASSPATH should contain Hadoop, Hive (lib and auxlib), and Java jars.
+ If you execute Java directly, then JAVA_HOME, HIVE_HOME, HADOOP_HOME must be correctly set; CLASSPATH should contain Hadoop, Hive (lib and auxlib), and Java jars.
