   > > If we must choose one between `hivemetastore-site.xml `and 
`metastore-site.xml`, would it be better to choose `hivemetastore-site.xml`? 
Because in my memory, the `hivemetastore-site.xml` was used more frequently.
   > 
   > I'd prefer the `metastore-site.xml` for the long term purpose, so far I 
haven't seen any user using the `hivemetastore-site.xml`. I can restore the 
HiveConf/MetastoreConf to take the `hivemetastore-site.xml` as the legacy 
property source if we are wondering some users might use this file.
   
   Ambari has been consistently using `hivemetastore-site.xml` instead of 
`metastore-site.xml`, and there are many users of Ambari.
   
https://github.com/apache/ambari/blob/trunk/ambari-server/src/main/resources/stacks/BIGTOP/3.2.0/services/HIVE/configuration/hivemetastore-site.xml
 
   
   For now, having both `hivemetastore-site.xml` and `metastore-site.xml` take 
effect simultaneously seems like a better compromise. 
   
   However, I agree that in the long term, we should retain only one 
configuration file. Perhaps we need more folks to discuss which configuration 
file to keep. :)
