Fixing array class cast exception in HiveMetaStoreClient Java 9 made changes to `toArray()` to always return `Object[]` and this cannot be cast into any of the subtypes including `URI[]`. This raises a class cast exception on Java 9. Modified the `HiveMetaStoreClient` to use the `toArray(T[] a)` to return the URI[] type. This might require back ports to earlier releases if anyone is using the client in Java 9. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51372788/array-cast-java-8-vs-java-9 You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/vishnukl-alation/hive master Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/hive/pull/401.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #401 ---- commit 1d4951bf0a57d8286f3386387050780d9e9dd5c3 Author: Vishnu <vishnukarthik.lakshmanan@...> Date: 2018-07-17T21:13:46Z Fixing array class cast exception in HiveMetaStoreClient ---- ---
