Hi all! I have a question about

HiveCatalog

. Reading the docs for Flink 1.16 I get the impression it should be available out-of-the-box: "For users who have just Flink deployment, HiveCatalog is the only persistent catalog provided out-of-box by Flink". When running Flink in Docker containers and looking through the container, I can't find anything related to Hive, such as

flink-connector-hive

,

flink-sql-connector-hive

, or

flink-table-planner

. Am I doing something wrong, or...?

That could be changed in the docs because Hive is not bundled with Flink. See https://nightlies.apache.org/flink/flink-docs-release-1.16/docs/connectors/table/hive/overview/#dependencies on what needs to be added

Ah, thanks, Martin. Note to self: read the docs more carefully!
