Shreepadma Venugopalan commented on HIVE-4648: ---------------------------------------------- [~harisekhon]: It is possible to set and unset config variables through JDBC that can be set/unset through the command line. To do so, you'd need to do an execute statement with "set config.var = value". To set the scratch dir, you can do the following in JDBC, {noformat} statement.execute("set hive.exec.scratchdir = /tmp/mydir"); {noformat} Note that this property is set for the particular JDBC connection. > Add ability to set hadoop conf overrides in JDBC for HiveServer2 > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4648 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4648 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: HiveServer2, JDBC > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Hari Sekhon > > It's possible in BeeLine to specify set command overides of hadoop config > variables, but I haven't seen any example code of how to do this in JDBC with > HiveServer2. > We need an ability to specify hadoop conf overrides on a per session basis or > even half way through the session.
