Hi everyone We are getting close to the externalization of Hive connector[1]. Since currently externalized version is already passing tests against release-1.18 and release-1.19 then I'm going to remove Hive connector code from Flink main repo[2]. For that reason I would kindly ask to avoid merging of Hive connector related changes to Flink main repo (master branch) in order to make this smoother. Instead it would be better to create/merge prs to connector's repo[3]
Also huge shoutout to Yuxia Luo, Martijn Visser, Ryan Skraba for the review [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-30064 [2] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-33786 [3] https://github.com/apache/flink-connector-hive -- Best regards, Sergey
