Description
We should added automated tests that check we are not adding backwards incompatible changes to core APIs (e.g. HMS APIs, SerDe APIs, UDF APIs, etc.).
Other Apache components, such as HBase and Hadoop already have existing checks. They are largely based on the japi-compliance-checker: https://lvc.github.io/japi-compliance-checker/
The nice thing about the japi-compliance-checker is that it can identify an interface as "any class with a specified Java annotation", so we can use the compliance-checker to check for backwards compatibility of any classes annotated with InterfaceAudience.Public
Ideally, we can build this check into our pre-commit job, or get it into YETUS, since we are already working on adding YETUS support to Hive.
