Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2136:
--------------------------------------
We may also want to consider wrapping this in some kind of generic mechanism
similar to ODBC's SQLGetInfo call.
> Add get_version() call to Thrift API

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2136
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Thrift API
> Reporter: Carl Steinbach
>
> Clients need to be able to determine the version of the HiveServer and
> HiveMetastore.
> Open questions:
> * Should there be separate methods for determining the HiveServer and
> HiveMetaStore versions?
> * Should the return value be a string, or should we have separate integer
> valued methods that return the major/minor/patch versions separately (the
> latter would be easier for clients written in C).
