Hi Radar and All,
Had a closer look at the plan for Apache HAWQ 2.4.0.0 release, it turns out that the support of Hive data access in pluggable storage framework has larger content than expected. In fact, to make Hive protocol available, the prerequisite need to be done at first, which including HDFS protocol, ORC, TEXT/CSV format, etc. The corresponding task have been added in umbrella feature HAWQ-786 as below: HAWQ-1628: Support HDFS protocol using pluggable storage framework HAWQ-1629: Support ORC format using pluggable storage framework HAWQ-1630: Support TEXT/CSV format using pluggable storage framework HAWQ-1631: Support Hive protocol using pluggable storage framework HAWQ-1632: Wrap up pluggable storage framework and HDFS/Hive ORC/TEXT/CSV support Given that, I think it will be better if we can release 2.4.0.0 without this feature for now and accommodate it to subsequent releases. Any comment? Best regards, Ruilong Huo
