> > 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. :) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
