Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-4305:
--------------------------------------
bq. Carl Steinbach, you had asked for a list of benefits, are you convinced by
the arguments here?
No, I remain unconvinced. So far the points that have been made in favor of
switching to Maven are either factually inaccurate (e.g. "Ivy doesn't support
X" when it actually does), or are personal opinions masquerading as statements
of fact (e.g. Owen's five points). People need to give concrete reasons (backed
with examples) that demonstrate the superiority of Maven over Ivy. I'm happy to
reciprocate with counterexamples.

> Both Hive and HCatalog use ant as their build tool. However, Hive uses ivy
> for dependency resolution while HCatalog uses maven-ant-tasks. With the
> project merge we should converge on a single tool for dependency resolution.
