Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-4896:
----------------------------------------
Contingent on creation of that new jira though, I'm +1 on
4896.remove_Exim_add_011_src_test.
I've looked through 4896.fix_shim_layer and it looks good as well, I'm running
tests to confirm.
> create binary backwards compatibility layer hcatalog 0.12 and 0.11

> 1. create a 011 dir in each HCat submodule to hold these classes
> 2. update build to place these classes into jars
> 3. figure out how to test this
> The goal is for users who were using public API (e.g. HCatLoader) in their
> programs to be able to upgrade to hive 0.12 and have their programs still
> work without change.
> The compatibility layer will have a sunset clause to be removed in 2 releases.
