Is it mandatory to start atlas in sandbox to work in Hive? Hive has a metastore.

Is it possible to have atlas dependency as pluggable for hive?

It is mandatory for now. Quoting @ebergenholtz

"...in HDP 2.3x, Atlas is required to be running in order for the Hive post execution hook for Atlas to fire properly since it is using a REST API to propagate the metadata. This limitation is being addressed by introducing a messaging layer which decouples Atlas from Hive such that the state of the Atlas process does not affect the execution of Hive queries."

The above also applies to HDP 2.4 and will be addressed with the coming release of HDP
