I'm not speaking for @iemejia of course, but my impression was that this patch was necessary for Hive 2.3.8 in order to (among other things) unblock spark from using a newer parquet (and thus avro) version. See linked issues in [HIVE-21737](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-21737), [SPARK-27733](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-27733), etc. The interlocking dependencies on this have been a very thorny problem that people have tried working on for a long time (e.g. #674, #785), so it would be really cool if this didn't miss the release. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
