Installation from Tarball
DISCLAIMER
This information is adapted from the HCatalog 0.5.0 installation instructions. Now that HCatalog is part of the Hive project, it is installed with Hive and therefore much of the information below is obsolete. Furthermore, there is no such thing as "HCatalog 0.11.0" although that fiction has been substituted below for "HCatalog 0.5.0" — until this wikidoc is revised to reflect current realities, you should be skeptical of what you read here.
