What changes were proposed in this pull request?
This PR proposes an implementation for the getClob(int) and getClob(String) methods of HiveBaseResultSet.
Why are the changes needed?
please see HIVE-28358.
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes. The current getClob() methods of HiveBaseResultSet just throw an exception. The proposed change returns a SerialClob already initialized with a char array obtained from the corresponding getString() methods.
Is the change a dependency upgrade?
No
How was this patch tested?
Testing was done inside the "poorly designed application". Other additional tests were not deemed useful since the functionality is not present in the master release.
