Hive 4.2.1 was previously recorded as blocked because upstream had not published hive-iceberg-catalog, hive-iceberg-handler or hive-hcatalog-server-extensions at that version. That is stale: two of the three are on Maven Central at 4.2.1, the third (hcatalog-server-extensions) is absent at 4.2.0 as well, which we have shipped all along, and all three are modules of the Hive reactor. The preceding change makes the build resolve them from the reactor rather than from Maven Central, so what upstream published stopped mattering. 4.2.1 builds clean, with the same restored Thrift methods and the same single externally-sourced jar (hive-storage-api) as 4.2.0. Patches 0001-0004 applied to 4.2.1 without rebasing; 0005 and 0006 were regenerated by the generator, which verifies its thrift toolchain by requiring that the unmodified IDL regenerates Hive's committed sources byte-for-byte. The OPA authorizer image is pinned per Hive version, so it gains a 4.2.1 variant; it is built from source with hive-version as a build argument, so this costs nothing upstream. 4.0.1 is the one version we ship that serves neither the old Thrift methods nor our patch: it is where HIVE-26537 landed, and it is shipped as upstream released it. Anyone on it is already broken against Iceberg, so moving them to 4.2.1 is a fix rather than a cost. 4.0.0 stays for one more release. It predates the removal and serves the methods natively, so it is unaffected by the Iceberg problem, and keeping it means a user running it in 26.7 can upgrade the platform first and Hive afterwards instead of being forced to do both in the same window. It can go once that upgrade path has been available for a release.
