There's a technical issue: trivial change to the case statement
and a ASF process one: the only ASF project which can release hive
artifacts is the hive team; it's that way due to ASF release indemnity stuff
(only ASF official releases come with that, and only a project may release its
own artifacts).
There's not AFAIK any reason the Hive team can't/won't do this, its just a
matter of pushing them hard enough to get signoff. @jerryshao has the bigger
patch though it's not been getting the attention it deserves.
