Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-4896:
--------------------------------------
HIVE-4896.v011.patch - contains 0.11 version of the main/test sources from
http://apache.mirrors.pair.com/hive/hive-0.11.0/hive-0.11.0.tar.gz.
HIVE-4896.changes.patch - contains adjustments that had to be made. For
example since shim layer was refactored in 0.12, the 0.11 classes are modified
to use the new shim layer.
It's best if these changes are checked into SVN the same way, as 2 checkins.
It will preserve history in a way that is more useful.
> create binary backwards compatibility layer hcatalog 0.12 and 0.11

> 2. update build to place these classes into jars
> 3. figure out how to test this
> The goal is for users who were using public API (e.g. HCatLoader) in their

> work without change.
> The compatibility layer will have a sunset clause to be removed in 2 releases.
