Issues with Metadata Extraction

Problem: Fetch Schemas fails with error “unable to instantiate HiveMetastoreClient”

The issue may occur when Hive metastore is not enabled/instantiated. Hive Metastore is the default Databricks connection catalog.

Solution

Include the ConnCatalog and ConnSchema parameters into the connection JDBC URI:

• ConnCatalog - Specifies the catalog which contains the metadata schema.

• ConnSchema - Specifies the schema inside the catalog in which metadata is stored.

Example:

ConnCatalog=en_dlake_cat;ConnSchema=data_governance;
