Hello Hive, I am using HiveMetaStoreClient of version 2.3.3 ( https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/rel/release-2.3.3/metastore/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/HiveMetaStoreClient.java) to query data (sql queries like 'show tables;' and 'select * from customers;' etc.) from Hive 2.1 installed on my machine. I get following exception:
HiveMetaStoreClient - Failure while attempting to get hive table. Retries once. org.apache.thrift.TApplicationException: Invalid method name: 'get_table_req' because ThriftHiveMetastore of version 2.1 does not have the method (as it uses get_table method which got deprecated in 2.3). The question is: is it possible for hive metastore client of version 2.3 to interact with hive of version 2.1 without that method's invocation? If not, what are my options? P.s. There is a configuration property https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/rel/release-2.3.3/common/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/conf/HiveConf.java#L598 (added in the same commit as 'get_table_req' method) which is true by default, but does nothing in the case, but it looks like if it should (If I understand it correctly, my queries should have failed fast, even before the method invocation). Disabling it (setting to false) produced the same result as described above.
