Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-1530:
-----------------------------------------
don't dis-allow hive.* options not specified in HiveConf. reason is that hive
is extensible at various points via custom code and those have access to config
object and installs may want to set variables specific to their plugins etc.
(we shouldn't be in the business of telling them what not to name them)
> Include hive-default.xml and hive-log4j.properties in hive-common JAR

> Key: HIVE-1530
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1530
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration
> Reporter: Carl Steinbach
>
> hive-common-*.jar should include hive-default.xml and hive-log4j.properties,
> and similarly hive-exec-*.jar should include hive-exec-log4j.properties. The
> hive-default.xml file that currently sits in the conf/ directory should be
> removed.
> Motivations for this change:
> * We explicitly tell users that they should never modify hive-default.xml yet
> give them the opportunity to do so by placing the file in the conf dir.
> * Many users are familiar with the Hadoop configuration mechanism that does
> not require *-default.xml files to be present in the HADOOP_CONF_DIR, and
> assume that the same is true for HIVE_CONF_DIR.
