--------------------------------

             Summary: Integrate Falcon with Hive/HCatalog version 0.13.0 or higher
                 Key: FALCON-946
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-946
             Project: Falcon
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: common
    Affects Versions: 0.7, trunk
            Reporter: Adam Kawa


Currently, feeds and processes that access Hive tables fail when that table contains e.g. TIMESTAMP column. The error that you get is:

{code}
 IO error, Type timestamp not present
{code}

This is because, Falcon is currently compiled with Hive 0.11
{code}
        <hive.version>0.11.0</hive.version>
{code}

HCat 0.11 doesn't support TIMESTAMP types. TIMESTAMP type (as well as DATA, CHAR and a couple of more) was added in Hive 0.13.0 by https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5814.

Therefore, we should integrate Falcon with Hive/HCatalog version 0.13.0 or higher :)

This will for example include:
* switching imports from org.apache.hcatalog to org.apache.hive.hcatalog
* updating version number in pom.xml files 
* and probably a couple of more changes.
