[jira] Commented: (HIVE-726) Make "ant package -Dhadoop.version=0.17.0" work

["Zheng Shao (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-726?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12739662#action_12739662 ] 

Zheng Shao commented on HIVE-726:
---------------------------------

Talked with Ashish offline on this. Assuming that API does not change within major versions, we can always download major-version.0 no matter which hadoop minor version the user specified.
The compiled hive package should still work with any hadoop minor versions within the same major version. This should be better for our users because users can still specify any hadoop versions on the command line - we just strip it off to get the major version and append ".0".

Thoughts?

> After HIVE-487, users will have to specify the versions as in "shims/ivy.xml" to make "ant package -Dhadoop.version=<version>".work.
> Currently it is only running fine with the following versions (from shims/ivy.xml): 0.17.2.1, 0.18.3, 0.19.0, 0.20.0.
> We used to do "ant package -Dhadoop.version=0.17.0" but it's not working any more, although we can specify "ant package -Dhadoop.version=0.17.2.1" and the package will probably still work with 0.17.0.
