Hi folks,
If you use `mvn clean install -DskipTests -Pdist` to compile the Hive
source package, you will encounter this exception. I reviewed the content of
`apache-hive-4.2.0-src/target/rat.txt`, which shows that there is a `.idea`
directory under the `itests` directory. This directory contains 11 unknown
licenses. I believe this directory should be removed from the source package.

Hi,
Thanks for preparing the release artifact. I attempted to build Hive, and I
didn't see the RAT issue. Might it be a local issue of Butao's environment?
These are the steps I tested.
1. Download `apache-hive-4.2.0-src.tar.gz`
2. Untar it
3. Prepare a containerized environment with the following Docker command
4. `mvn clean install -Pdist,itests -DskipTests`
```
docker run --rm -it \
-v $HOME/.m2:/root/.m2 \
-v $PWD:/root/hive \
-w /root/hive \
maven:3.9.11-eclipse-temurin-21 \
/bin/bash
```
I have not tested other points; I plan to check them after rc1 is created.
Best,
Okumin

Hi Butao,
Thank you for checking the release candidate artifacts and catching the issue
with building Hive Metastore from sources.
I found that it happens because the new metastore-client module was forgotten
to be added to metastore sources assembly.
I opened HIVE-29315 to fix this issue and am working on it.
However, I re-checked, and didn't find the RAT issue when building Hive from
sources - the build passed with this command:
"mvn clean install -Pdist,itests,iceberg -DskipTests"
Thanks,
Dmitriy Fingerman
