tariq rahiman resolved HIVE-5323. --------------------------------- Resolution: Invalid Fix Version/s: 0.11.1 I was using a version of hive in which this was not fixed. I got the latest version and see that it is fixed now. We are working on a UI for hive administrators and I think i connected using a different driver.
