Description
HIVE-1881 added MetaStoreFS which is a pluggable extension point for
altering how the MetaStore interacts with the warehouse file system. This
interface needs to be extended so that it is possible to route all MetaStore
interaction with the warehouse file system through an implementation of this
interface.
The other problem I see is that the MetaStoreFS interface that this patch added is incomplete -
it only defines a deleteDir() method. What about createDir(), isDir(), etc? It seems like any MetaStore
code that directly references Hadoop's FileSystem class needs to get moved into HiveMetaStoreFsImpl.I don't think this needs to be done right away, but the problem with waiting is that any changes to MetaStoreFS
will break classes that implement older versions of that interface. Since MetaStoreFS is a public API we
need to get this done before it appears in an official release.
