Hi, developers. I would like to start a discuss about Hive connector bump to Flink 1.20.
Hive connector externalization was finished in January of this year (thanks to all the developers who have driven this work), and the entire module was removed in 2.0. However, It seems that there is not available release from this external repository, although we have attempted version 3.0.0 before[1], it seems that it has not been completed. The currently available releases are all based on the Hive module of the Flink main repository[2], and it already contains release packages from 1.18 to 1.20. Considering that we will release based on flink-connector-hive[3] in the future, I suggest bumping this repository to 1.20 and cherry picking some changes from hive module in Flink repository. Since we have not released any historical versions, we do not bear the burden of compatibility with previous versions. I would like to get some feedback if anyone has any other opinions on this suggestion.
