Versioning prior to 0.5.3 was not tracked, so this changelog only lists changes introduced after 0.5.3.
- Asynchronous execution with Hiveserver2
- Misc bugfixes
0.6.0 introduces one backwards-incompatible change:
- Behaviour change: RBHive will no longer coerce the strings "NULL" or "null" to the Ruby
nil; the rationale for this change is that it introduces hard to trace bugs and does not seem to make sense from a logical perspective (Hive's "NULL" is a very different thing to Ruby'snil).
0.6.0 introduces support for Hive 0.13, and for the Hive 0.11 version shipped with CDH5 Beta 1 and Beta 2:
- Thrift protocol bindings updated to include all the protocols shipped with the Hive 0.13 release.
- Allow the user to choose a protocol explicitly; provided helper symbols / lookups for common protocols (e.g. CDH4, CDH5)
