Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-3127: --------------------------------------- So I have found a reference to BlockMergeTask in ./ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/exec/TaskFactory.java . Also the last release note was. ./build/dist/RELEASE_NOTES.txt: * [HIVE-2413] - BlockMergeTask ignores client-specified jars vi ./ql/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/ql/io/rcfile/merge/BlockMergeTask.java You could be correct in that the main is unreachable now. Maybe someone added it as a hack for direct testing, it would be good to cut-it from the code if it is not reachable. Maybe one of the other devs will chime in. If not one else has any insight I will review and +1 tomorrow. > Don’t pass–hconf values as command line arguments to child JVM to avoid > command line exceeding char limit on windows > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-3127 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3127 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Configuration, Windows > Affects Versions: 0.9.0, 0.10.0, 0.9.1 > Reporter: Kanna Karanam > Assignee: Kanna Karanam > Labels: Windows > Fix For: 0.10.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-3127.1.patch.txt, HIVE-3127.2.patch.txt, > HIVE-3127.3.patch.txt > > > The maximum length of the DOS command string is 8191 characters (in Windows > latest versions http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830473). This limit will be > exceeded easily when it appends individual –hconf values to the command > string. To work around this problem, Write all changed hconf values to a temp > file and pass the temp file path to the child jvm to read and initialize the > -hconf parameters from file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
