Comment: was deleted
(was: Thanks [~iemejia] - I will do that.
How would you feel about a 1 liner in the JDoc too? I just know it is where I'd
look first)
> Document usage for hcatalog 1.1
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: BEAM-4260
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-4260
> Project: Beam
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: io-java-hcatalog, website
> Affects Versions: 2.4.0
> Reporter: Tim Robertson
> Assignee: Tim Robertson
> Priority: Minor
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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.x
>
> 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 in your own app 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?
