Julian Hyde commented on HIVE-18423: ------------------------------------ I'd like to comment on an raised in the review comments by [~msydoron] and [~jcamachorodriguez] about release numbers. * The PR into Calcite was based on branch-1.15, but we do not generally make branch releases in Calcite, so the PR will end up in master branch, whose version will be 1.16.0-SNAPSHOT and then 1.16.0 upon release. * Hive's master branch never depends upon snapshot versions of other components. Thus your PR into Hive will only be committed to master branch after calcite-1.16.0 has been released. * In git we usually work in feature branches, often named after a particular jira case. In such branches you are of course at liberty to refer to snapshot versions of other components. Those components may or may not be in the Apache snapshot repository (I think Calcite snapshots are published on successful builds of the master branch, but I'm not sure) and if they're not, you can easily publish to your local repository (in ~/.m2) using 'mvn install' > Hive should support usage of external tables using jdbc > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18423 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18423 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Jonathan Doron > Assignee: Jonathan Doron > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Fix For: 3.0.0 > > > Hive should support the usage of external jdbc tables(and not only external > tables that hold queries), so an Hive user would be able to use the external > table as an hive internal table. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
