Description

Currently when when a Pig job is submitted through WebHCat and the Pig script uses HCatalog, that means that Hive should be installed on the node in the cluster which ends up executing the job. For large clusters is this a manageability issue so we should use DistributedCache to ship the Hive tar file to the target node as part of job submission

TestPig_11 in hcatalog/src/test/e2e/templeton/tests/jobsubmission.conf has the test case for this
