The question is cross-posted in StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66914119/flink-why-is-hive-dependency-flink-sql-connector-hive-not-available-on-maven-ce
According to [Flink SQL Hive: Using bundled hive jar]( https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/connectors/hive/#using-bundled-hive-jar ): > The following tables list all available bundled hive jars. You can pick one to the /lib/ directory in Flink distribution. > - flink-sql-connector-hive-1.2.2 (download link) > - flink-sql-connector-hive-2.2.0 (download link) > ... However, these dependencies are not available from Maven central. As a work around, I use [user defined dependencies]( https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-stable/dev/table/connectors/hive/#user-defined-dependencies), but this is not recommended: > the recommended way to add dependency is to use a bundled jar. Separate jars should be used only if bundled jars don’t meet your needs. I wonder why the bundle jars are not available in Maven central? Follow-up: Since they are not available from Maven central, I wonder how to include them in pom.xml in order to run `mvn package`? Thanks!
