Patrick Taylor commented on HIVE-21508:
---------------------------------------
The latest 3.x release (3.1.2) still has this bug. When can we expect a 3.x
release that contains this fix that was resolved in 2019?
> ClassCastException when initializing HiveMetaStoreClient on JDK10 or newer

> There's this block of code in {{HiveMetaStoreClient:resolveUris}} (called
> from the constructor) on master:
> {noformat}
> private URI metastoreUris[];
> ...
> if (MetastoreConf.getVar(conf,
> ConfVars.THRIFT_URI_SELECTION).equalsIgnoreCase("RANDOM")) {
> List uriList = Arrays.asList(metastoreUris);
> Collections.shuffle(uriList);
> metastoreUris = (URI[]) uriList.toArray();
> }
> {noformat}
> The cast to {{URI[]}} throws a {{ClassCastException}} beginning with JDK 10,
> possibly with JDK 9 as well. Note that {{THRIFT_URI_SELECTION}} defaults to
> {{RANDOM}} so this should affect anyone who creates a
> {{HiveMetaStoreClient}}. On master this can be overridden with {{SEQUENTIAL}}
> to avoid the broken case; I'm working against 2.3.4 where there's no such
> workaround.

> a StackOverflow post that explains the issue in more detail. Interestingly,
> the author described the issue in the context of the HMS; not sure why there
> was no follow up with a Hive bug report.
