Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-12983:
---------------------------------------

Doc note:  The version() UDF needs to be documented in the wiki.  A release note would also be helpful.

* [Hive Operators and UDFs -- Misc. Functions | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+UDF#LanguageManualUDF-Misc.Functions]

Added a TODOC2.1 label.

> It would be nice to have a builtin function that would return the Hive version.  This would make it easier for a users and tests to programmatically check the Hive version in a SQL script. It's also useful so a client can check the Hive version on a remote cluster.
> For example:
> {code}
> beeline> SELECT version();
> 2.1.0-SNAPSHOT r208ab352311a6cbbcd1f7fcd40964da2dbc6703d
> {code}
