I'm trying to launch my own hive standalone metastore v3.0.0 in a kubernetes env, and write into postgresql as the backend database.
But through my experience so far, I need to have hadoop binaries present in the image itself in order to schematool -initSchema and start-metastore.
The question i have is, hadoop is about 700mb big, which unpacks into 1.4gb. And because I'm only using hive standalone metastore, is it possible to use a reduced hadoop binary to support this? If yes, how should it be done?
