Thejas M Nair created HIVE-7342: ----------------------------------- Summary: support hiveserver2,metastore specific config files Key: HIVE-7342 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7342 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Configuration, HiveServer2, Metastore Reporter: Thejas M Nair Assignee: Thejas M Nair
There is currently a single configuration file for all components in hive. ie, components such as hive cli, hiveserver2 and metastore all read from the same hive-site.xml. It will be useful to have a server specific hive-site.xml, so that you can have some different configuration value set for a server. For example, you might want to enabled authorization checks for hiveserver2, while disabling the checks for hive cli. The workaround today is to add any component specific configuration as a commandline (-hiveconf) argument. Using server specific config files (eg hiveserver2-site.xml, metastore-site.xml) that override the entries in hive-site.xml will make the configuration much more easy to manage. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
