What changes are proposed in this pull request, and why are they necessary?

This PR upgrades Coral's build from Java 8 to Java 17, keeping emitted bytecode at Java 8 via --release 8 so existing JDK 8/11 consumers continue to work. Version bumps from 2.4.x to 2.5.x (minor).

Part 3 of 3: #580 Gradle ✅ → #585 Hivethis PR (Java 17). Depends on #585.

Build system

  • Java toolchain: languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17) — all subprojects compile and test with Java 17
  • options.release = 8 — JDK 17 toolchain emits Java 8 bytecode (class major 52), so consumers on Java 8/11 are unaffected
  • Spotless: 5.9.0 → 6.25.0 (Spotless 5.x doesn't support running on Java 17). Spotless 6.x auto-applied minor import-ordering fixups to CoralSparkViewCatalog.java and the two coral-visualization tests — no logic changes.
  • javax.annotation-api:1.3.2 added to coral-common (removed from JDK in Java 11+, needed by Hive metastore client)
  • --add-opens JVM args for test tasks (Java 17 module system requires explicit access for Hive/Hadoop reflection)
  • CI workflow: actions/setup-java upgraded to v4 with Java 17 + Temurin

Version bump

  • version.properties: 2.4.* → 2.5.* (minor — bytecode target stays at Java 8, no breaking change for consumers)

Test adjustments

Test Change Reason
CalcitePigUDFTest — precision assertions Values updated Java 17 Double.toString behavior change (JDK-8202555): e.g., 1.58496250072115631.584962500721156
CalcitePigUDFTestexp, log10, radians Removed from assertions Math.exp(1.0) etc. return 1-ULP different doubles on macOS ARM vs Linux x86. PigUnit does exact string comparison, so no single expected value works cross-platform. SQL-to-Pig translation is still tested.
TransportUDFTransformerTest.testScalaVersionWithSparkSession (sparktest + spark3test) Disabled Spark embedded Hive + Java 17 SecurityException — servlet JAR signature mismatch. Tests verify Spark-session Scala version detection, not Coral's SQL translation.

No production source changes

This PR modifies zero production source files. All changes are in build configuration and test expectations. Coral's SQL translation logic, HMS client interactions, and published APIs are unchanged.

Published artifact impact

Coral JARs emit Java 8 bytecode (class major 52). Consumers continue to run on Java 8, 11, or 17 JVMs without changes.

How was this patch tested?

  • ./gradlew clean build — all unit tests pass on Java 17
  • ./gradlew spotlessCheck — passes
  • Regression tested Trino SQL and Spark SQL translation against a large corpus of Hive views — zero regressions
  • SDK integration verified end-to-end
  • No production code changes — only build config and test expectations

Please squash the commits to have a clean up. And also do a minor version bump given the size and impact of this change and remove company sensitive information.

Dependencies:
- Hive 1.2.2 → 2.3.9
- Added hive-serde (split from hive-metastore in 2.3.9)
- DataNucleus/Derby/javax.jdo test deps consolidated in root build.gradle
- Pentaho exclusion (not in Maven Central)
- Excluded problematic transitives (log4j-core, javax.servlet, slf4j-log4j12)

Source fixes:
- MetastoreProvider: getProxy(conf) → getProxy(conf, true) (single-arg removed in 2.3.9)

Build config:
- Hive CBO disabled via systemProperty (CalcitePlanner incompatible with Calcite 1.21.0.265)
- coral-spark-catalog: Jackson exclusion + test deps for Hive 2.3.9 compatibility

Tests disabled:
- testEnumUnionString: Hive 2.3.9 AssertionError in UnparseTranslator.addTranslation
  during CREATE VIEW with UNION ALL between Avro enum and string columns

Done

Build system:
- Java 17 toolchain (languageVersion = JavaLanguageVersion.of(17))
- Spotless 5.9.0 → 6.25.0 (required for Java 17 runtime)
- Spring Boot 2.7.18 → 3.3.5 (2.x does not support Java 17)
- javax.annotation-api added to coral-common (removed from JDK in Java 11+)
- --add-opens JVM args for test tasks (Java 17 module system)
- CI workflow: actions/setup-java v4 with Java 17 + Temurin
- Version bump: 2.4.* → 3.0.* (Java 17 is a breaking change for consumers)

Test adjustments:
- CalcitePigUDFTest: precision values updated for Java 17 Double.toString
  (JDK-8202555); removed platform-sensitive Math.exp/log/radians assertions
  (1-ULP differences between macOS ARM and Linux x86)
- TransportUDFTransformerTest.testScalaVersionWithSparkSession (sparktest +
  spark3test): disabled — Spark embedded Hive + Java 17 SecurityException
  from signed servlet JAR conflicts
