[SUPPORT] unable to sync metadata to hive metastore

**Describe the problem you faced**

I am trying to store table metadata in hive metastore using the following spark command. I have followed the config as shown [here](https://hudi.apache.org/docs/0.15.0/configurations/#META_SYNC). And the following command is run:

```bash
spark-submit --class org.apache.hudi.utilities.streamer.HoodieStr
eamer $HUDI_UTILITIES_BUNDLE \
--table-type COPY_ON_WRITE \
--source-class org.apache.hudi.utilities.sources.JsonKafkaSource \
--source-ordering-field ts \
--target-base-path hdfs://localhost:9000/user/hive/warehouse/stock_ticks_cow_2 \
--target-table stock_ticks_cow_2 \
--schemaprovider-class org.apache.hudi.utilities.schema.SchemaRegistryProvider \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.streamer.schemaprovider.registry.url=http://localhost:8081/subjects/stock_ticks-value/versions/latest \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.streamer.source.kafka.topic=stock_ticks \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.write.recordkey.field=key \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.write.partitionpath.field=date \
--hoodie-conf schema.registry.url=http://localhost:8081 \
--hoodie-conf auto.offset.reset=earliest \
--hoodie-conf bootstrap.servers=localhost:9092 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.upsert.shuffle.parallelism=2 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.insert.shuffle.parallelism=2 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.delete.shuffle.parallelism=2 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.bulkinsert.shuffle.parallelism=2 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.mode=hms \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.enable=true \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.metastore.uris=thrift://localhost:9083 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.table=stock_ticks_cow_2 \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.meta.sync.enable=true \
--hoodie-conf hoodie.datasource.hive_sync.batch_num=10 \
--props file:///dev/null
```

spark writes the table as intended to hdfs but I don't see the table metadata in hive through beeline. Please let me know if I am missing any required configuration or If I have misunderstood the purpose of this configuration.

**To Reproduce**

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. push stock data to `stock_ticks` topic
2. run above spark command
3. check from beeline if tables shows up using `show tables;`

**Expected behavior**

I was expecting the table metadata to be synced with hive upon running the spark command with hive configuration.

**Environment Description**

* Hudi version : 0.15

* Spark version : 3.5.5

* Hive version : 2.3.9

* Hadoop version : 3.4.1

* Storage (HDFS/S3/GCS..) : HDFS

* Running on Docker? (yes/no) : No

Start with the org.apache.hudi.utilities.streamer.HoodieStreamer entry point, the META_SYNC configuration documentation, and the provided Spark logs. Reproduce the command against Hive 2.3.9 and verify whether the metastore sync is invoked; done means identifying the missing configuration or compatibility issue and confirming table visibility from beeline.
