> Currently I see the {{getVersion}} implementation in the metastore is
> returning a hard-coded "3.0". It would be good to return the real version of
> the metastore server using {{HiveversionInfo}} so that clients can take
> certain actions based on metastore server versions.
> Possible use-cases are:
> 1. Client A can make use of new features introduced in given Metastore
> version else stick to the base functionality.
> 2. This version number can be used to do a version handshake between client
> and server in the future to improve our cross-version compatibity story.
