Lenni Kuff commented on HIVE-12983:
-----------------------------------
[~szehon] - I think the revision is nice to have so you can know exactly what
commit this is built from. The other build info is not as important. What do
you think about something like:
{code}
2.1.0-SNAPSHOT r208ab352311a6cbbcd1f7fcd40964da2dbc6703d
{code}
> Provide a builtin function to get Hive version

> It would be nice to have a builtin function that would return the Hive
> version. This would make it easier for a users and tests to programmatically
> check the Hive version in a SQL script. It's also useful so a client can
> check the Hive version on a remote cluster.
> For example:
> {code}
> beeline> SELECT version();
> 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT from 208ab352311a6cbbcd1f7fcd40964da2dbc6703d by lskuff source
> checksum 8e971cda755f6b3fb528c233c40eb50a
