Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-7497:
--------------------------------------

This renames configuration parameter *hive.global.init.file.location* (created 
in HIVE-5160) to *hive.server2.global.init.file.location* and revises its 
description, as well as changing its default from 
System.getenv("HIVE_CONF_DIR") to "$\{env:HIVE_CONF_DIR\}" and changing the 
default of configuration parameter *hive.hwi.war.file* from 
"$\{system:HWI_WAR_FILE\}" to "$\{env:HWI_WAR_FILE\}".  

*hive.server2.global.init.file.location* needs to be documented in two places, 
with version information and a link to this JIRA ticket:

* [Hive Web Interface -- Configuration | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveWebInterface#HiveWebInterface-Configuration]
* [Configuration Properties -- Hive Web Interface (HWI) | 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-HiveWebInterface(HWI)]

But it's not clear to me whether the default value changes need any user doc 
updates -- do they?

> HIVE-5160 resolves an env variable at runtime via calling System.getenv(). As 
> long as the variable is not defined when you run the build null is returned 
> and the path is not placed in the hive-default,template. However if it is 
> defined it will populate hive-default.template with a path which will be 
> different based on the user running the build. We should use 
> $\{system:HIVE_CONF_DIR\} instead.
