Thanks @iemejia . Can you fix the compilation error?

[wangyum]

@sunchao@iemejia Could we release Hive 2.3.8 first?

[sunchao]

@iemejia what do you think? do you still plan to get this in 2.3.8? I'm hoping that we can catch the Spark 3.1.0 release train.

@wangyum curious if you have verified whether this case is resolved with Hive 2.3.8. I plan to check this by myself too before starting a new vote.

[iemejia]

Yes you are right @sunchao I care about this one, but it seems it opened a pandora box of unrelated dependency issues, it is more important to get into the Spark 3.1.0 release train so let's better go ahead with the vote without this update.
Also we can eventually catch this up in the future and do a 2.3.9 once it works and we get more certainty that not further issues were introduced.

Any update? Spark community has created 3.1.0 RC1: https://github.com/apache/spark/releases/tag/v3.1.0-rc1

[sunchao]

I think we just need to verify that the combination of Hive 2.3.8/Parquet 1.11.1/Avro 1.10.1 works for Spark before sending out a vote. @heuermh have you got a chance to try it out? Thanks.

[heuermh]

@sunchao With the changes in bigdatagenomics/adam#2289 to remove various workarounds, the combination in pull request apache/spark#30517 works for us.

[sunchao]

Thanks @heuermh ! I'll start a vote on Hive 2.3.8 soon.
