The HCatalog team is happy to announce the release of HCatalog 0.4.0 Apache HCatalog provides a table management service for Hadoop. More details about HCatalog can be found at http://incubator.apache.org/hcatalog
The highlights of this release are: - Full support for reading from and writing to Hive. - Support for deeply nested maps, arrays, and structs. - Switch from StorageDrivers to SerDes. HCatalog no longer supports its own StorageDriver classes for data (de)serialization. Instead it uses Hive's SerDe classes. - Addition of JSonSerDe to support reading and writing JSON data. - The HCatalog binary distribution no longer includes Apache Hive. We now require that Hive first be installed. - The HCatalog source distribution no longer includes Apache Hive source. It now pulls the required jars via maven.
