Why does Hive not store metadata information in HDFS?

We know that the Hive’s data is stored in HDFS. However, the metadata is either stored locally or it is stored in RDBMS. The metadata is not stored in HDFS, because HDFS read/write operations are time-consuming. As such, Hive stores metadata information in the metastore using RDBMS instead of HDFS. This allows us to achieve low latency and is faster.
