---------------------------------
Summary: Provide a builtin function to get Hive version
Key: HIVE-12983
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12983
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: UDF
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: Lenni Kuff
Assignee: Jason Dere
It would be nice to have a builtin function that would return the Hive version.
This would make it easier for a users and tests to programmatically check the
Hive version in a SQL script. It's also useful so a client can check the Hive
version on a remote cluster.
For example:
{code}
beeline> SELECT version();
2.1.0-SNAPSHOT from 208ab352311a6cbbcd1f7fcd40964da2dbc6703d by lskuff source
checksum 8e971cda755f6b3fb528c233c40eb50a
{code}
