Note
For Spark 3.0, if you are using a self-managed Hive metastore and have an older metastore version (Hive 1.2), few metastore operations from Spark applications might fail. Therefore, you should upgrade metastores to Hive 2.3 or later version. QDS-managed metastore is upgraded by default.
Python 2.x will be deprecated soon for Spark 3.x versions.
