[minihippo]

What is the purpose of the pull request

Add a new module hudi-metastore

Brief change log

HoodieMetastoreBasedTimeline HoodieMetastoreFileSystemView MetaStore has three parts：

• client, connects with server by Thrift
• service, is divided into tableService, partitionService, timelineService and snapshotService
• store, has a relation db based implementation with the power of MyBatis

Writing a commit/deltacommit is available, but read is not ready.

Verify this pull request

For test, metastore will start up with an embedded one.

This change added tests and can be verified as follows:

• Add metastore client ut
• Add metastore store ut
• Add a case of cow writing based on metastore

great feature !!!

@xiarixiaoyao : can you review this when you get a chance. I have assigned it to myself as well. So, will try to review in a weeks time.

[xiarixiaoyao]

@minihippo could you pls rebase the code and run azure again, thanks

[minihippo]

The CI environment lacks thrift under /usr/local/bin/thrift, so that hudi-metastore can't be compiled. I push the compiled thrift classes as a temporary way to pass CI.

[minihippo]

@xiarixiaoyao It seems that the code review doesn't finish, right?

[minihippo]

@minihippo Just commented on the deps and code changes on existing files. Could you please share how this is being tested and may be add a small README, for building this PR locally and working through an example end-end?

Trying to understand whats in scope for this PR - entire metaserver module or this is just a start of a series of PRs

Sorry for missing the question. will add a README and it's just a start of a series of PRs. The next one is support snapshot creation.

Why do we implement a thrift RPC between the client and server?

Hi @prasannarajaperumal, thanks for reviewing.

GRPC, HTTP are in my list. Between HTTP and RPC, RPC is more efficient that it has compact encoder and reject the redundant protocol design HTTP used. Client and server both have to align with the interface and entity that RPC defined, so it's more controllable and developer shouldn't fully understand the underlateyer data transfer details .For metadata transfer, RPC is much better. Between GRPC and Thrift, thrift is stable, common and widely used in the main open source frameworks. It supports muti-language compatibility and has better performance than GRPC.

[minihippo]

We have state stored in file system / relational tables and we can have 2 clear implementations of interfaces that enable both.

Actually, we store all informations in metaserver, i.e. timeline、files info (file name, size, partition belongs to and etc.). The storage of server is optional, it can be relational tables, file system and both, according to the characteristic of the metadata and how we use it.

[minihippo]

Why not just use plain JDBC - client/server is built into the JDBC protocol?

Did mean the necessary that i involved MyBatis? It eliminates almost all of the JDBC code and manual setting of parameters and retrieval of results.

• developers only need to focus on the sql logic
• it's convenient for code maintenance

SQL is stored outside of the code, which makes the SQL more reusable and easy to be maintained. MyBatis has good support for dynamic SQL and preventing SQL injection.

@prasannarajaperumal Other than the RPC protocol consideration as @minihippo mentioned, with the generated models, we'll gain flexibilities in adapting to different metastores / catalogs like AWS glue, datahub, etc for sync purpose. I discussed with @minihippo separately on having sth like hudi-metastore-proxy-bundle.jar to sync to those catalogs, which can consolidate the existing sync tools via common standardized models. This hasn't been added to the current RFC doc. @minihippo is working on publishing an updated RFC including all the planned future capabilities.

Is there a conflict between using metaserver and hudi metadata? For example, using them at the same time Hudi's metadata now supports not only FILES, but also COLUMN_ STATS and BLOOM_ FILTERS. Currently, metaserver only supports list files and list partitions. Will it complement others?

[minihippo]

Hi @prasannarajaperumal, according to the comments that interface abstraction, I add the hudi catalog design into RFC-36 design doc https://github.com/apache/hudi/pull/4718. To speed up the initial pr landing, considering the completed refactor will touch many basic entities and bring a detailed code review and discussion, this pr will only do partial refactor as following. What do you think?

[vinothchandar]

Hi @minihippo Picking this up again. Would appreciate a quick overview of the current status and what functionality is working as of this PR.
