Eugene Koifman created HIVE-4749:
------------------------------------
Summary: WebHCat reads hive.metastore.uris, etc. from different
places for different types of operations
Key: HIVE-4749
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4749
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HCatalog
Affects Versions: 0.11.0
Reporter: Eugene Koifman
webhcat-default.xml (webhcat-stie.xml) has templeton.hive.properties which
specifies values of some properties to pass to hive, in particular
hive.metastore.uris. This is then passes as a start up parameter to Hive when
WebHCat launches Hive to execute a query. (The design is that for job
submission WebHCat expects a Hive metastore to be running somewhere.)
On the other hand, when a DDL operation is executed, WebHCat ignores
webhcat-default.xml and expects hive-site.xml to contain hive.mestastore.uris,
etc.
This is very confusing (unless you happen to know this).
There should be a single source of truth.
