-----------------------------------
Summary: Add automated tests to check backwards compatibility of
core APIs
Key: HIVE-17130
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17130
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sahil Takiar
Assignee: Sahil Takiar
We should added automated tests that check we are not adding backwards
incompatible changes to core APIs (e.g. HMS APIs, SerDe APIs, UDF APIs, etc.).
Other Apache components, such as HBase and Hadoop already have existing checks.
They are largely based on the japi-compliance-checker:
https://lvc.github.io/japi-compliance-checker/
The nice thing about the japi-compliance-checker is that it can identify an
interface as "any class with a specified Java annotation", so we can use the
compliance-checker to check for backwards compatibility of any classes
annotated with InterfaceAudience.Public
Ideally, we can build this check into our pre-commit job, or get it into YETUS,
since we are already working on adding YETUS support to Hive.
