----------------------------------

             Summary: Default Hive home is not being set properly under certain 
circumstances
                 Key: SQOOP-2145
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-2145
             Project: Sqoop
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.4.6
            Reporter: Mark Grover
            Assignee: Mark Grover
             Fix For: 1.4.6
         Attachments: SQOOP-2145.1.patch

Currently, we have a bunch of _HOME defaults that are detected in 
bin/configure-sqoop. However, HIVE_HOME is not there. The only default for 
HIVE_HOME is hardcoded in java at 
https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/src/java/org/apache/sqoop/SqoopOptions.java#L64

and that's not enough. The reason is often times people have tarballs like 
~/sqoop, ~/hive, etc. and it would be good to have their hive import jobs work 
out of the book. It makes sense to add some smartness (we already have that for 
other components like hcatalog) related to HIVE_HOME in configure-sqoop.

This doesn't regress anything because it only sets the HIVE_HOME if it's not 
already set and the directory it's setting it to exists and is valid.
