Hive Sync fails: AWSGlueDataCatalogHiveClientFactory not found

Question

I'm syncing data written to S3 using Apache Hudi with Hive & Glue.
Hudi options:
```
hudi_options:
    'hoodie.table.name': mytable
    'hoodie.datasource.write.recordkey.field': Id
    'hoodie.datasource.write.partitionpath.field': date
    'hoodie.datasource.write.table.name': mytable
    'hoodie.datasource.write.operation': upsert
    'hoodie.datasource.write.precombine.field': LastModifiedDate
    'hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.enable': true
    'hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.partition_fields': date
    'hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.database': hudi_lake_dev
    'hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.table': mytable
```

EMR Configurations:
```
...
{
                "Classification": "yarn-site",
                "Properties": {
                    "yarn.nodemanager.vmem-check-enabled": "false",
                    "yarn.log-aggregation-enable": "true",
                    "yarn.log-aggregation.retain-seconds": "-1",
                    "yarn.nodemanager.remote-app-log-dir": config[
                        "yarn_agg_log_uri_s3_path"
                    ].format(current_date),
                },
                "Configurations": [],
            },
            {
                "Classification": "spark-hive-site",
                "Properties": {
                    "hive.metastore.client.factory.class": "com.amazonaws.glue.catalog.metastore.AWSGlueDataCatalogHiveClientFactory"  # noqa
                },
            },
            {
                "Classification": "presto-connector-hive",
                "Properties": {"hive.metastore.glue.datacatalog.enabled": "true"},
            },
            {
                "Classification": "hive-site",
                "Properties": {
                    "hive.metastore.client.factory.class": "com.amazonaws.glue.catalog.metastore.AWSGlueDataCatalogHiveClientFactory",  # noqa
                    "hive.metastore.schema.verification": "false",
                },
            },
...
```

Getting the following error:
```

Answer

This is due to Glue catalog libraries missing in the Hudi class path.

Kindly consider to modify the script (run_sync_tool.sh) as below to make it work. 
  *************
           # added for AWS Glue Catalog hive metastore libraries.(For EMR cluster with version 6.X)
           HIVE_METASTORE=/usr/share/aws/hmclient/lib/aws-glue-datacatalog-hive3-client.jar:$HIVE_METASTORE

(or)
           # added for AWS Glue Catalog hive metastore libraries.(For EMR clusters with version 5.X)
           HIVE_METASTORE=/usr/share/aws/aws-java-sdk/aws-java-sdk-bundle-1.11.970.jar:/usr/share/aws/hmclient/lib/aws-glue-datacatalog-hive2-client- 
           1.15.0.jar:$HIVE_METASTORE

*************

# Steps:
SSH Login to the master node of EMR

cd /usr/lib/hudi/bin

sudo cp run_sync_tool.sh run_sync_tool.sh_backup

sudo vi run_sync_tool.sh

(Add below lines in this section : ## Include only specific packages from HIVE_HOME/lib to avoid version mismatches : add it after the line GLUE_JARS  or line 56)

# added for AWS Glue Catalog hive metastore libraries.
           HIVE_METASTORE=/usr/share/aws/hmclient/lib/aws-glue-datacatalog-hive3-client.jar:$HIVE_METASTORE
