Hi, I'm interested in a new config property that was added as part of HIVE-20508 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20508>, and had a few questions:
1) The update was merged <https://github.com/apache/hive/commit/494b771ac02455d1a162570fa5fd26be55e0152c> into the master branch, however it doesn't appear to be in a released version yet. Is there a plan for when this will be added to an official release? More generally, I'm curious what the process is for promoting features from the master branch to official releases - is that documented somewhere? 2) The patch doesn't appear to include documentation. Perhaps is that why it hasn't yet been added to an official release? 3) I haven't been able to directly test this feature yet, so I wanted to get some clarity: With this change (and with the property set to 'false'), I assume that Hive will pass the full principal name in the "doAs" parameter to other kerberized services (e.g. HDFS) instead of just the short name, is that correct? Could you describe how exactly this will affect Hive's behavior? Thanks a lot, Julien
