Thanks for reviewing the code. Due to the special package requirements in
hive-0.12.0 support, and some internal behavior change in hive 0.13, I have not
found a good way to use reflection to dynamically support different hive
versions.
I agree with you the current patch may be invasive to the building changes
for supporting different hive versions in the future. I have changed the
profile to pick up the src directory automatically based on user specific
versions, so that in the future, if new version is supported, there is no need
to change the pom any more.
In the meantime, it is possible in the future to support different hive
versions with reflection. If that is the case, the current patch should be
adapt to that approach.
There are more development works required to be done on spark side to fully
utilize hive-0.13 new features, and purpose of this patch is to give the
customer a try and jumpstart the effort in the community.
Please review the code and let me know your feedback.
