------------------------------------------
Summary: Metastore API getVersion() should return real version
Key: HIVE-21484
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21484
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
Currently I see the {{getVersion}} implementation in the metastore is returning
a hard-coded "3.0". It would be good to return the real version of the
metastore server using {{HiveversionInfo}} so that clients can take certain
actions based on metastore server versions.
Possible use-cases are:
1. Client A can make use of new features introduced in given Metastore version
else stick to the base functionality.
2. This version number can be used to do a version handshake between client
and server in the future to improve our cross-version compatibity story.
