+Flink supports Hive `2.3.4` and `1.2.1` and relies on Hive's compatibility guarantee's for other minor versions.
+
+If you use a different minor Hive version such as `1.2.2` or `2.3.1`, it should also be ok to 
+choose the closest version `1.2.1` (for `1.2.2`) or `2.3.4` (for `2.3.1`) to workaround. For 
+example, you want to use Flink to integrate `2.3.1` hive version in sql client, just set the 
+hive-version to `2.3.4` in YAML config. Similarly pass the version string when creating 
+HiveCatalog instance via Table API.
+
+Users are welcome to try out different versions with this workaround. Since only `2.3.4` and `1.2
+.1` have been tested, there might be unexpected issues. We will test and support more versions in future releases.
