[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-6050) JDBC backward compatibility is broken

["Mark Grey (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6050?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14051444#comment-14051444 ] 

Mark Grey commented on HIVE-6050:
---------------------------------

Is there a workaround for overcoming the Thrift problem when connecting newer clients to an older hiveserver2?  I'd like to hook up Hue into an existing hiveserver in production.

> On code analysis, it looks like the 'client_protocol' scheme is a ThriftEnum, which doesn't seem to be backward-compatible.  Look at the code path in the generated file 'TOpenSessionReq.java', method TOpenSessionReqStandardScheme.read():
> 1. The method will call 'TProtocolVersion.findValue()' on the thrift protocol's byte stream, which returns null if the client is sending an enum value unknown to the server.  (v4 is unknown to server)
> 2. The method will then call struct.validate(), which will throw the above exception because of null version.  
> So doesn't look like the current backward-compatibility scheme will work.
