Jason Dere commented on HIVE-6012:
----------------------------------
Based on exact string match with the supported release numbers (0.12, 0.13, or
"latest" to use latest supported level). If it does not recognize number it
will squawk error and use default support level.
> restore backward compatibility of arithmetic operations
