Description

Apache Iceberg supports a Hive Metastore Catalog for both Hive 3 and Hive 4. The Hive Catalog is part of Hive 4 itself.

The Apache Hive project declared Hive 3 end of life on 8 October 2024, so that version will not be receiving updates. As a result of these changes, Hive 3 support should be removed for NiFi integrations for the Iceberg Hive Catalog. Removing existing support for Hive 3 will provide a cleaner foundation for potential future integration with Hive 4, avoiding the potential security issues related to an unsupported version of Hive.
