Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-4266:
--------------------------------------
bq. We cannot make this kind of backwards incompatible change for users. Users
will not see this as "here, run this script against your source tree." They'll
see it as they have to go modify, re-test, and re-deploy every application.
Aren't these same users going to have to re-test and re-deploy every
application when they bump the version number of their hcatalog dependency?
bq. We should not make this a blocker for 0.11. I'm 90% of the way through the
patch, but it will take a fair amount of testing when I'm done to asure that it
works with both org.apache.hcatalog and org.apache.hive.hcatalog.
I'm convinced that if we don't do this now it's never going to happen, which is
why I think one of the exit criteria for 0.11.0 needs to be either a) providing
wrappers and a clearly stated EOL timeline for the org.apache.hcatalog
namespace, or b) changing the package names only.
