Jarek Jarcec Cecho commented on SQOOP-2145:
-------------------------------------------
Looking at the
[script|https://github.com/apache/sqoop/blob/trunk/bin/configure-sqoop] more
closely, it seems that we're doing this magic for all other projects as well
(HBase, Hcatalog, Zookeeper, ...), so it seems fair to do it also for Hive.
User will still have the ability to override their value in {{sqoop-env.sh}}.
What do you think [~venkatnrangan]?

> Project: Sqoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.4.6
> Reporter: Mark Grover

>
> 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.
