-----------------------------------------
Summary: Update HCatalog version to 0.13 in Sqoop builds
Key: SQOOP-1323
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1323
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Sub-task
Affects Versions: 1.4.4
Reporter: Venkat Ranganathan
Assignee: Venkat Ranganathan
Fix For: 1.4.5
We need to update the HCatalog version that we support for Sqoop builds to be
0.13.0 to support all the Hive Datatypes with HCatalog
Since the hcatalog packages have moved from org.apache.hcatalog to
org.apache.hive.hcatalog, this will be a backward compatibility breaking
change. Hive had deprecated the packages in 0.11 and has removed them in
0.13.1. Also, the enhancements for hive datatype parity is only available
with the new packages.
While this would mean that we will not be able to build with older hive
versions, the metastore client is backward compatible, so newer Sqoop will
still be able to access older hive (but we have to provide the Hive 0.13
libraries to Hive on the client node)
