---------------------------------------
Hi Xuefu, I am interested with this Task, Would you please assign it to me?
> Create a Hive a connector to access Hive data
> ---------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-10729
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-10729
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Table API & SQL
> Affects Versions: 1.6.2
> Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
> Assignee: Zhenqiu Huang
> Priority: Major
>
> As part of Flink-Hive integration effort, it's important for Flink to access
> (read/write) Hive data, which is the responsibility of Hive connector. While
> there is a HCatalog data connector in the code base, it's not complete (i.e.
> missing all connector related classes such as validators, etc.). Further,
> HCatalog interface has many limitations such as accessing a subset of Hive
> data, supporting a subset of Hive data types, etc. In addition, it's not
> actively maintained. In fact, it's now only a sub-project in Hive.
> Therefore, here we propose a complete connector set for Hive tables, not via
> HCatalog, but via direct Hive interface. HCatalog connector will be
> deprecated.
> Please note that connector on Hive metadata is already covered in other
> JIRAs, as {{HiveExternalCatalog}}.
