-------------------------------
Summary: Switch back to get_table in HMS client
Key: HIVE-24608
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24608
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Metastore
Affects Versions: 2.3.7
Reporter: Chao Sun
HIVE-15062 introduced a backward-incompatible change by replacing {{get_table}}
with {{get_table_req}}. As consequence, when HMS client w/ version > 2.3 talks
to a HMS w/ version < 2.3, it will get error similar to the following:
{code}
AnalysisException: org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.metadata.HiveException: Unable to
fetch table testpartitiondata. Invalid method name: 'get_table_req';
{code}
Looking at HIVE-15062, the {{get_table_req}} is to introduce client-side check
for capabilities. However in branch-2.3 the check is a no-op since there is no
capability yet (it is assigned to null). Therefore, this JIRA proposes to
switch back to {{get_table}} in branch-2.3 to fix the compatibility issue.
