Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2090:
--------------------------------------
@Siying: The examples in that document seem only to apply to Thrift structs. It
doesn't explicitly say that this also works with parameter lists. Can you try
testing out the two scenarios (downversion client/upversion server and
downversion server/upversion client) and let us know if they work?
The section at the end that discusses Versioning/Compatibility talks about
adding extra fields to structs, so maybe if this doesn't work we should try to
transition to a Thrift API where each method takes a single struct as input,
and just wrap the list of input parameters in that struct.

> A "DROP DATABASE ... FORCE" will be useful, when we use a database for
> isolation when doing some tests. Being able to force cleaning up the database
> will make test cleaning up easier.
