[jira] [Created] (SPARK-32988) Spark 2.3 and 2.4 backward compatibility problems

dinesh created SPARK-32988:
------------------------------

             Summary: Spark 2.3 and 2.4 backward compatibility problems 
                 Key: SPARK-32988
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-32988
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Java API
    Affects Versions: 2.4.0, 2.3.2
            Reporter: dinesh


With Spark 2.3 

spark.sharedState.externalCatalog used to give an object of ExternalCatalog which was actually an instance of HiveExternalCatalog

With Spark 2.4 

spark.sharedState.externalCatalog gives an object of ExternalCatalogWithListener which has HiveExternalCatalog as unwrapped delegate.

 

We use HiveExternalCatalog to get HiveClient to perform Hive Operations.

 

 

This change in method Signature is giving us backward compatibility problems such that code compiled with Spark 2.3 can not work with 2.4 due to the change. This results in Runtime exceptions including ClassCastException, NoSuchMethodError
