luoyuxia created FLINK-28422: -------------------------------- Summary: Fall back to lastest supported HiveShim when user use a higher hive version Key: FLINK-28422 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-28422 Project: Flink Issue Type: Improvement Components: Connectors / Hive Reporter: luoyuxia Fix For: 1.16.0
Flink provides flink-connector-hive.jar, so that user can bundle it with a specific hive-exec.jar to make Flink read / write their Hive. The flink-connector-hive mantains the Hive versions that Flink supports. But when Hive releases a higher version, which may well be not in the maintain list of Flink for the delay of Flink's release . Then user will find the unsupported version exception with such higher version hive-exec.jar. The better way is to fall back to a nearest Hive version directly, with a warning message. It usually works fine unless some big changes in Hive. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
