Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-16057: -------------------------------------------- Isn't that the expected behavior? If {{hadoop.security.credential.provider.path}} is provided the password has to be provided through either the environment variable or from {{HADOOP_CREDSTORE_PASSWORD}} from the command line. If the user is using credential provider API to secure passwords why will they want to provide the password in clear text on commandline? > SchemaTool ignores --passWord argument if > hadoop.security.credential.provider.path is configured > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-16057 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16057 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Peter Vary > Assignee: Peter Vary > Attachments: HIVE-16057.patch > > > It the {{hadoop.security.credential.provider.path}} is defined in command > line, but the correct {{HADOOP_CREDSTORE_PASSWORD}} is not provided the > SchemaTool fails, even if the correct metastore password is provided with > {{--passWord}} > Could be reproduced if the hive-site.xml contains the following: > {code} > <property> > <name>hadoop.security.credential.provider.path</name> > > <value>localjceks://file//Users/petervary/tmp/conf/creds.localjceks</value> > </property> > {code} > {code} > $ ../schemaTool --dbType=mysql --info --passWord=pwd > Metastore connection URL: > jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/hive?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 > Metastore Connection Driver : com.mysql.jdbc.Driver > Metastore connection User: hive > org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.HiveMetaException: Failed to get schema > version. > *** schemaTool failed *** > {code} > The {{--passWord}} argument should override the errors from the credential > provider -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
