Hello, I don't know in what state is branch-2.3 right now but if someone is willing to cut a release from there then sure why not. Just ensure that LICENSE/NOTICE files conform to the ASF policy and the respective JIRAs are backported. Probably some of the following JIRAs are relevant (hoping that I didn't miss anything else): * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-25665 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27466 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27467 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27468 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27478 * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-27504
