Thank you all for your responses. I am considering upgrading Powerdesigner and I checked the features of both SP 04 and SP 05 but both of them support Hadoop 1.0 only. I am looking to reverse engineer Hadoop 2.3 -2.4 .
SAP are probably already working on this, so it's worth asking if they can supply a new Database Definition file that hasn't been released yet.
If they're not going to deliver in time for you, you could find someone to tailor the database support for you, assuming you know which new features of Hadoop you want to take advantage of - this assumes that it wouldn't need any changes to the base product.
I can think of a few people who might be able to do it, depending on what you need to have changed - have a go yourself if you want.
See section 4 in "c:\program files\sap\powerdesigner 16\documentation\printable docs\customizing_powerdesigner.pdf" or the equivalent section in HTML help (the content is the same)
You will have to extend or customize the existing XDB for Hadoop Hive 1.0. You will want to reference the doc location that George pointed you to, as a starting point. Depending on what you are adding or changing, you will most likely be working in the DBMS Properties dialog around the Script -> Objects folders.
What is the big difference(s) between 1.0 and 2.4 that you are trying to take advantage of through the metadata via Hive?
The SAP answer is to upgrade, but the Hive support is provided via an XML file, which they could easily supply to you, and it will probably work fine in 16.5.0.
I suggest you ask your SAP contact for a copy of the file.
