-------------------------------------
Summary: HiveConf should make use of Validator.validate()
Key: HIVE-12410
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12410
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Configuration
Affects Versions: 0.10.0
Reporter: Eugene Koifman
Hive supports Validator class which allows you to specify valid ranges for
various configuration variables.
There is Validator.validate() which checks that the value specified is actually
within the constraints.
Unfortunately validate() is not called in general.
Should make validate() throw IllegalArgumentException and override
Configuration.set() to make sure validate() is always called.
This would not be backwards compatible but we should do what we can to ensure
that Hive is configured properly before starting a service.
