All, this has been covered in other email chains here, but just to summarize, we have proposals for two point releases:
1. Hive 3.1.2. This will include only commits already on the 3.1 branch. See https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/722f6eb65e1ab8add8fcd938192098eb1426cb7b74a62c0252e06ea1@%3Cdev.hive.apache.org%3E for details 2. Hive 2.3.6 This includes one (so far) backport that Spark needs to update to Hive 2. See https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/e8f7406d046bd94b4c4a6108c7ae66d8f35014fb9132a6042c0b83f4@%3Cdev.hive.apache.org%3E for details. I've agreed to help with both of these. Alan.
