MartijnVisser opened a new pull request, #19352: URL: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/19352
## What is the purpose of the change This PR drops support for 3 versions of Hive: * All Hive 1.* support * All Hive 2.1.* support * All Hive 2.2.* support That means that Hive 2.3.* and Hive 3.1.* will be the remaining supported versions. These are also the version that are still maintained by the Hive community. ## Brief change log * Removed `flink-sql-connector-hive-1.2.2` module and code * Removed `flink-sql-connector-hive-2.2.0` module and code * Removed references to all version < 2.3.0 * Changed existing Hive profiles in Maven to version that still exist * Updated documentation to remove old references Note: * There are still `HiveShim` implementations (loaders for Hive) for older versions in `org/apache/flink/table/catalog/hive/client/`. I decided against removing them for now because the Hive 2.3.0 shim depends on all previous classes. This will be cleaned-up anyway when the Hive connectors will be externalized ## Verifying this change This change is a trivial rework / code cleanup without any test coverage. ## Does this pull request potentially affect one of the following parts: - Dependencies (does it add or upgrade a dependency): yes - The public API, i.e., is any changed class annotated with `@Public(Evolving)`: no - The serializers: no - The runtime per-record code paths (performance sensitive): no - Anything that affects deployment or recovery: JobManager (and its components), Checkpointing, Kubernetes/Yarn, ZooKeeper: no - The S3 file system connector: no ## Documentation - Does this pull request introduce a new feature? no - If yes, how is the feature documented? not applicable -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
