Github user youngwookim commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/bigtop/pull/325 Cos, Thanks for the comment. HIVE-16302 is in Hive 3.0.0 so the patch can be removed when we upgrade Hive to 3. On the Hive side, HoS(Hive on Spark) should work with Spark 2+ and the Spark side, SparkSQL 2.2+ should work with Hive 2.x Metastore (AFAIK) Please see my comment @ BIGTOP-2945 in short, if we have both Hive 2.3 and Spark 2.2(BIGTOP-2969), it should work at all.
