Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-21484:
--------------------------------------
Should the HMS version be the version of the schema (from the HMS DB) or should
it be the version of the code they are running (like the fix you proposed) ?
Ideally, they should be the same but lets say given that HMS is standalone and
can have its own release schedule and that the schema version is not tied to
the release version anymore, then they could differ.
> Metastore API getVersion() should return real version

> 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.
