Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HCATALOG-63:
------------------------------------------
- Patch provided for 0.2 branch
- Possibly, although I went with the convention we use for the binaries (we
call it hcat and not hcat_client)
- That is provided as a convenience for those who start hcat_server, i.e., if I
wanted to run hcat_server as user hcatsvr, if I did a sudo -u hcatsvr before I
started the server, it'd start as that user. Eric added that and I kept it
because I think it's potentially useful. A user can choose to override if they
want. Although... I'd like to see where you get that "cannot set groups" error
- I did not come across that.
- The renaming of proto-hive-site.xml : I considered this, and it might have
made sense to. But there are settings in hive-site.xml (the caps ones) that we
want the user to override, and knowingly so. Unless we have a script to use to
set settings in config xml files (I need to look into the template script a bit
more - maybe it does this too?), it's not easy to automate. So, not copying
proto-hive-site.xml was a way I figured we could enforce the user needing to
take this action. (The db installation step, and setting the jdbc url comes to
mind on the non-automatable-by-us end)
- Hmm. Good point, agreed, should be part of a post-install script, and should
spit out the above instructions too.
