Deprecation of Qubole JDBC Storage Handler

The Qubole-Hive JDBC Storage Handler is deprecated as of QDS R57; all Qubole Hive versions will use the OSS JDBC Storage Handler.

Enhancement

• QHIVE-3515: QDS supports blacklisting and whitelisting Hive tables for automatic statistics collection.

Bug Fixes

• QTEZ-446: QDS has added code in HiveServer2 to automatically kill the Tez application when the query has completed or failed, or has been canceled. See also open-source JIRA TEZ-3405.

• QHIVE-4681: Fixes a race condition which caused the Thrift Metastore Server to fail to start.
