you are using a different database for your MetaStore you will need
to provide your own upgrade script.
-- Hive @VERSION@ includes new configuration properties. If you
- are upgrading from an earlier version of Hive it is imperative
- that you replace all of the old copies of the hive-default.xml
- configuration file with the new version located in the conf/
- directory.
+- Please be aware that the Hive 0.8.0 MetaStore upgrade scripts remove
+ support for partition-level column information from the MetaStore
+ schema. Since this information was not previously exposed by Hive
+ the only people potentially impacted by this change are those who
+ access the MetaStore directly via the Thrift API. If you fall into
+ the latter category please consult HIVE-2246 for more information.
+
+- Hive 0.8.0 ignores the hive-default.xml file, though we continue
+ to provide it for reference purposes. Any changes that you
+ previously made to hive-default.xml must now be moved to the
+ hive-site.xml file.
