Hello all, Keeping up the momentum from the recent backwards compatible Spark release (1.6.6), I would like to propose a new 1.6.7 release as the fist compatible version for Apache Hive! To achieve this, the community had to resolve a number of issues including:
* ORC-705 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-705>: Predicate evaluation taking into account writer calendar * ORC-706 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-706>: Putting back DataReaderProperties default maxDiskRangeChunkLimit * ORC-709 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-709>: Boolean to StringGroup schema evolution * ORC-724 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ORC-724>: PPD: IN single value comparison throwing ClassCastException with Date objects As of yesterday Hive precommit tests are also passing using the latest 1.6.7-SNAPSHOT version and Hive community is already discussing the upgrade -- check HIVE-23553 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-23553> for the implementation details. Is there anything else that should also go in? Please let me know what you think! Cheers, Panagiotis
