Martijn Visser commented on FLINK-28422:
----------------------------------------
I'm wondering if this is a good idea. If we do this, then we'll easily forget
to update the documentation with the versions of Hive that are supported. I
think it's better to explicitly add support for specific versions.
> Fall back to lastest supported HiveShim when user use a higher hive version

> Key: FLINK-28422
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-28422
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Connectors / Hive
> Reporter: luoyuxia
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 1.16.0
>
>
> Flink provides flink-connector-hive.jar, so that user can bundle it with a
> specific hive-exec.jar to make Flink read / write their Hive.
> The flink-connector-hive mantains the Hive versions that Flink supports. But
> when Hive releases a higher version, which may well be not in the maintain
> list of Flink for the delay of Flink's release .
> Then user will find the unsupported version exception with such higher
> version hive-exec.jar.
> The better way is to fall back to a nearest Hive version directly, with a
> warning message. It usually works fine unless some big changes in Hive.
