Hi Harish,

looking at the windowing.pdf doc, it seemed that the metastore --service was needed to make this work for the windowing jar. Is it mandatory? or is it just a representative picture?

i.e. can I not have just a regular mysql running somewhere and make appropriate changes to hive-site.xml to point to that machine with mysql with appropriate jdbc driver? Or the metastore as a service is NEEDED by the windowing jar to make connections into A metastore.

thanks
