Description

The initial idea of having a thrift based connector, that would enable Hive Metastore to use thrift APIs to interact with another metastore from another cluster, has some limitations. Features like column masking support become a challenge as we may bypass the authz controls on the remote cluster.

Instead if we could federate a query from one instance of HS2 to another instance of HS2 over JDBC, we would address the above concerns. This will atleast give us the ability to access tables across cluster boundaries.
