Thanks for your feedbacks!

Working with Yuming to reduce the risk of stability and quality. Will keep you 
posted when the proposal is ready.

Cheers,

+1 for what Marcelo and Hyukjin said.

In particular, I agree that we can't expect Hive to release a version that is 
now more than 3 years old just to solve a problem for Spark. Maybe that would 
have been a reasonable ask instead of publishing a fork years ago, but I think 
this is now Spark's problem.

+1 to that. HIVE-16391 by itself means we're giving up things like
Hadoop 3, and we're also putting the burden on the Hive folks to fix a
problem that we created.

The current PR is basically a Spark-side fix for that bug. It does
mean also upgrading Hive (which gives us Hadoop 3, yay!), but I think
it's really the right path to take here.
