+# Stackable Docker image including Apache Hive
+
+This is our Dockerfile for the Apache Hive metastore.
+
+It is building Hive from source.
+We use the officially released source tarballs and apply patches on top.
+These patches can also be seen in our [fork](https://github.com/stackabletech/hive) of Hive.
+
+Look for the `stackable/` branches.
+
+The patches were created using [Stacked Git](https://stacked-git.github.io/) but that, unfortunately, does not allow sharing the state remotely.
+We do not have a good solution for this yet.
+
+The command used was: `stg export --dir patches/3.1.3 -p -n` but this would require you to get your local fork into a state where it recognizes all _our_ commits as patches first.
