Patches
There are a couple of bugs in the 19991210 release of Hive,
which we would like to solve for our uesrs, however since
development has progress through 20000327, any changes we make
in that release cannot be directly applied to the stable
release. The patch file contains the source and binary
version of the classes that are being effected -- either
replace the source file you have and recompile, replace the
class file in the jar, or (the ugly solution), put this class
file in the classpath before your binary version of hive.
- Patch for CellCommand
- Fixes some command line parsing, and not it can actually find the CellControlAgent on the cell
Development
This version of Hive is not as "bleeding edge" as that which
is accessible via CVS -- it
is relatively stable, however it is not fully tested, and its
interoperability with previous versions of Hive is not
guaranteed. Its availibity is to allow developers and users
to experiement with upcoming features of the system, and to
allow us to get feedback on the improvements and changes.
These versions are usually not as well documented, but as
always, the Hive team are always
available to help out.
