make a libthrift.jar and libfb303.jar in dist package for backward compatibility --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-1962 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1962 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Ning Zhang Assignee: Ning Zhang Attachments: HIVE-1962.patch We have seen an internal user that relies on Hive's distribution library libthrift.jar. After the upgrade of thrift jar to 0.5.0, the jar file is renamed to thrift-0.5.0.jar and similarly for the fb303 jar. We can ask the user to change their dependency to thrift-0.5.0.jar, but later when we upgrade to a new version, the dependency breaks again. It's desirable to create a symlink in the dist/lib directory to link libthrift.jar to thrift-${thrift.version}.jar and the same for fb303. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
