-----------------------------------
Summary: Document usage for hcatalog 1.1.0
Key: BEAM-4260
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4260
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: io-java-hcatalog
Affects Versions: 2.4.0
Reporter: Tim Robertson
Assignee: Tim Robertson
The {{HCatalogIO}} does not work with environments providing Hive Server 1.x
which is in widespread use - as an example the latest Cloudera (5.14.2)
provides 1.1.0.
The {{HCatalogIO}} marks it's Hive dependencies as provided, so I believe the
intention was to be open to multiple versions.
The issues come from the following:
- use of {{HCatUtil.getHiveMetastoreClient(hiveConf)}} while previous versions
used the [now
deprecated|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/hcatalog/core/src/main/java/org/apache/hive/hcatalog/common/HCatUtil.java#L586]
{{getHiveClient(HiveConf hiveConf)}}
- Changes to the signature of {{RetryingMetaStoreClient.getProxy(...)}
Given this doesn't work in a major Hadoop distro, and will not until the next
CDH release later in 2018 (i.e. widespread adoption only expected in 2019) I
think it would be worthwhile providing a fix/workaround.
I _think_ building for 2.3 and relocating might be a workaround although I'm
still testing it. If that is successful I'd propose adding it to the project
README or in a separate markdown file linked from the README.
Does that sound like a reasonable approach please?
