Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6847: -------------------------------------- Doc note: This changes the default value and description for *hive.exec.scratchdir*, which is already documented in the wiki (in Configuring Hive as well as Configuration Properties). It also gives a description for *hive.scratch.dir.permission*, which is not documented in the wiki yet. No change is made to *hive.downloaded.resources.dir*, it's just removed in one place and added elsewhere. Here are all the places in the wiki that *hive.exec.scratchdir* is documented: * [AdminManual Configuration -- Configuring Hive | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-ConfiguringHive] * [AdminManual Configuration -- Temporary Folders | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-TemporaryFolders] * [AdminManual Configuration -- Configuration Variables | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration#AdminManualConfiguration-ConfigurationVariables] * [Configuration Properties -- hive.exec.scratchdir | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-hive.exec.scratchdir] * example of using hive.exec.scratchdir (2nd bullet): [Hive CLI -- Examples | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Cli#LanguageManualCli-Examples] > Improve / fix bugs in Hive scratch dir setup > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6847 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6847 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: CLI, HiveServer2 > Affects Versions: 0.14.0 > Reporter: Vikram Dixit K > Assignee: Vaibhav Gumashta > Labels: TODOC14 > Fix For: 0.14.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-6847.1.patch, HIVE-6847.10.patch, > HIVE-6847.11.patch, HIVE-6847.2.patch, HIVE-6847.3.patch, HIVE-6847.4.patch, > HIVE-6847.5.patch, HIVE-6847.6.patch, HIVE-6847.7.patch, HIVE-6847.8.patch, > HIVE-6847.9.patch > > > Currently, the hive server creates scratch directory and changes permission > to 777 however, this is not great with respect to security.
