> There's this block of code in {{HiveMetaStoreClient:resolveUris}} (called from the constructor) on master:
> {noformat}
>   private URI metastoreUris[];
>   ...
>       if (MetastoreConf.getVar(conf, ConfVars.THRIFT_URI_SELECTION).equalsIgnoreCase("RANDOM")) {
>         List uriList = Arrays.asList(metastoreUris);
>         Collections.shuffle(uriList);
>         metastoreUris = (URI[]) uriList.toArray();
>       }
> {noformat}
> The cast to {{URI[]}} throws a {{ClassCastException}} beginning with JDK 10, possibly with JDK 9 as well. Note that {{THRIFT_URI_SELECTION}} defaults to {{RANDOM}} so this should affect anyone who creates a {{HiveMetaStoreClient}}. On master this can be overridden with {{SEQUENTIAL}} to avoid the broken case; I'm working against 2.3.4 where there's no such workaround.
> [Here's|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51372788/array-cast-java-8-vs-java-9] a StackOverflow post that explains the issue in more detail. Interestingly, the author described the issue in the context of the HMS; not sure why there was no follow up with a Hive bug report.
