In conviencing current users to make developers happy of beta software happy is not a big win. Protobuf 2.4 has been the standard for a long time now. We and others have considerable amount of udfs that amd other things that need to be rebuilt.
Forcing 12 to protobuf 2.5 will make it harder for me and others to upgrade. Really this dep should all be external to hive. There is no reason that a input or storage handler has to dictate the version of things. I do not see what the problem of waitng 3 month is. On one hand we are going to run 2x tests of hcat for 2 releases to guarentee comparability. On the otherhand we are willimlng to force people to rebuild the kits to be in sync with non release software, On Thursday, September 12, 2013, Sushanth Sowmyan (JIRA) <j...@apache.org> wrote: > > [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5112?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13765916#comment-13765916] > > Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-5112: > ---------------------------------------- > > I'd also much rather have this in 0.12. Without this in 0.12, we either block HIVE-4388 inclusion in 0.12, or require two versions of HIVE-4388, one with protobuf 2.4 and one with 2.5.
