[SPARK-14786] Remove hive-cli dependency from hive subproject The `hive` subproject currently depends on `hive-cli` in order to perform a check to see whether a `SessionState` is an instance of `org.apache.hadoop.hive.cli.CliSessionState` (see #9589). The introduction of this `hive-cli` dependency has caused problems for users whose Hive metastore JAR classpaths don't include the `hive-cli` classes (such as in #11495). This patch removes this dependency on `hive-cli` and replaces the `isInstanceOf` check by reflection. I added a Maven Enforcer rule to ban `hive-cli` from the `hive` subproject in order to make sure that this dependency is not accidentally reintroduced. /cc @rxin @yhuai @adrian-wang @preecet You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/JoshRosen/spark remove-hive-cli-dep-from-hive-subproject Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/12551.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #12551 ---- commit 994fbae48176ddb3b68a4b393ce9cc948a261be6 Author: Josh Rosen <joshro...@databricks.com> Date: 2016-04-21T01:05:34Z Use reflection to check for CliSessionState ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
