---------------------------------------
Summary: metastore setconf API can set too many confs
Key: HIVE-15047
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15047
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
{noformat}
public void setMetaConf(String key, String value) throws MetaException {
ConfVars confVar = HiveConf.getMetaConf(key);
{noformat}
that gets stuff from "metaConfs", which contains all the metastore configs,
including the warehouse location, port (setting that unfortunately would not
work; imagine the possibilities!), etc.
There's another small list near metaConfs - metaConfVars, billed as "User
configurable Metastore vars". That is probably the list that should be used; as
it is, it's not used for any checks.
When making the change SetProcessor etc. should be adjusted to fail with some
user-friendly message when trying to set unsettable metastore APIs.
