He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-2125:
------------------------------------
Carl, the comments for the config is the hive-site.xml. so i think it should
not be added to .q files. And also putting comments before 'set' command can
lead to some random errors. And all other comments are addressed in this new
patch.
> alter table concatenate fails and deletes data
