> OK, so just one of the pages in wiki has changed, and hive behavior has not changed
That's right, and a closer look at the wiki shows that all the examples are -hiveconf except the new change. The only place --hiveconf appears is in duplications of help messages for the hive command, the old Hive server, or Beeline. In a fresh export of the wiki --hiveconf occurs in these docs: - CLI<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Cli#LanguageManualCli-HiveCommandLineOptions> repeats what hive -H says (--hiveconf) but gives 3 examples of -hiveconf. - Admin Config<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-ConfiguringHive> says --hiveconf twice, in text and an example (both changed this week). - Hive Server<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveServer> says --hiveconf once, but that's the Thrift server help message. - HiveServer2 Clients<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveServer2+Clients#HiveServer2Clients-BeelineCommandOptions>says --hiveconf twice, but that's the Beeline option. These wikidocs say -hiveconf: - Getting Started (4 in config overview<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-ConfigurationManagementOverview> and 2 in error logs<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/GettingStarted#GettingStarted-ErrorLogs> ) - Avro SerDe<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AvroSerDe#AvroSerDe-SpecifyingtheAvroschemaforatable>(2 in example and text) - Developer Guide<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/DeveloperGuide#DeveloperGuide-RunningHiveWithoutaHadoopCluster>(4 in "export HIVE_OPTS") - HBase Integration<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HBaseIntegration#HBaseIntegration-Usage>(2 in examples) - Variable Substitution<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+VariableSubstitution>(1 in the "evil laugh" example) - CLI (2 in one example<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Cli#LanguageManualCli-Examples>, 1 in logging<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Cli#LanguageManualCli-Logging> ) (My grep hits were inflated because "-i" caught HiveConf.) So what's it supposed to be? -- Lefty On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 11:06 PM, Thejas Nair <the...@hortonworks.com> wrote: > OK, so just one of the pages in wiki has changed, and hive behavior > has not changed ?
