The docs state that: Configuration of Hive is done by placing your `hive-site.xml` file in `conf/`.
I've searched the codebase for hive-site.xml and didn't find code that specifically loaded it anywhere so it looks like there is some magic to autoload *.xml files in /conf? I've skimmed through HiveContext <https://github.com/apache/spark/blob/master/sql/hive/src/main/scala/org/apache/spark/sql/hive/HiveContext.scala> and didn't see anything obvious in there. The reason I'm asking is that I am working on a feature that needs config in hbase-site.xml to be available in the spark context and would prefer to follow the convention set by hive-site.xml. -- Dean Chen
