Hive 4 has known compatibility issues, especially when using it with Iceberg or Trino.
The missing compatibility with Iceberg also means that Spark jobs using this storage may fail.

**Workaround:** If you encounter issues with Hive 4, use Hive 3.1.3 instead until these upstream issues are resolved.
Be aware of upgrading Hive (e.g. 4.0.0 to 4.0.1 or 4.0.1 to Hive 4.1.0), as this upgrade is not easily reversible.
Test the new version before upgrading your production workloads and take backups of your database.

**Workaround:** If you encounter issues with Hive 4.x, use Hive 3.1.3 instead until these upstream issues are resolved.
