Description

When using following scripts for initializing metastore schema,

export HIVE_CONF_DIR='/path/to/metastore_conf'
./bin/schematool -dbType mysql -initSchema

the schematool command will be failed though we have a valid metastore-site.xml under the config path, it tries to init the default embeded db.

Metastore connection URL:     jdbc:derby:;databaseName=metastore_db;create=true
Metastore connection Driver :     org.apache.derby.jdbc.EmbeddedDriver
Metastore connection User:     APP
Initializing the schema to: 4.0.0-alpha-2
