----------------------------------
The discussion of when to branch for this has been going on on
dev@hive.apache.org for a bit now, see
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-dev/201408.mbox/%3CCAKjA-pyhnHhxjaCYhWibX3o-RfQ7g2Sk9fyLYBN%3DFx6UofJ33A%40mail.gmail.com%3E
The summary is, any day now. Once we branch it's usually ~4 weeks for
stabilization and release mechanics before the release.
> Implement insert, update, and delete in Hive with full ACID support

>
> Many customers want to be able to insert, update and delete rows from Hive
> tables with full ACID support. The use cases are varied, but the form of the
> queries that should be supported are:
> * INSERT INTO tbl SELECT …
> * INSERT INTO tbl VALUES ...
> * UPDATE tbl SET … WHERE …
> * DELETE FROM tbl WHERE …
> * MERGE INTO tbl USING src ON … WHEN MATCHED THEN ... WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
> ...
> * SET TRANSACTION LEVEL …
> * BEGIN/END TRANSACTION
> Use Cases
> * Once an hour, a set of inserts and updates (up to 500k rows) for various
> dimension tables (eg. customer, inventory, stores) needs to be processed. The
> dimension tables have primary keys and are typically bucketed and sorted on
> those keys.
> * Once a day a small set (up to 100k rows) of records need to be deleted for
> regulatory compliance.
> * Once an hour a log of transactions is exported from a RDBS and the fact
> tables need to be updated (up to 1m rows) to reflect the new data. The
> transactions are a combination of inserts, updates, and deletes. The table is
> partitioned and bucketed.
