Hello Hive users,

We are pleased to announce the 4.0.0 and 5.0.0 releases of BeeJU
<https://github.com/HotelsDotCom/beeju>, a unit testing framework for the
Hive Metastore and HiveServer2 which supports JUnit4 and Junit5. The main
change in version 5.0.0 is support for Hive 3.1.2 and going forward this
will be the default
supported Hive version. Support for Hive 2.x will continue via releases of
the 4.x version of BeeJU.

The new features in the 5.0.0 release include:

* Hive's HIVE_SERVER2_LOGGING_OPERATION_ENABLED is now set to false.
* Various Derby, scratch and similar folders now configured to use a base
