Proper documentation for hive.metastore.warehouse.dir config
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HCATALOG-107
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HCATALOG-107
Project: HCatalog
Issue Type: Improvement
Affects Versions: 0.2
Environment: documentation
Reporter: Thomas Weise
Priority: Minor
src/docs/src/documentation/content/xdoc/install.xml
"The directory you want to use for the default database in your installation"
After having played with the setting a bit, here is how it seems to work
(should be documented):
The directory can be URI or absolute file path. If it is absolute file path, it
will be resolved to a URI by the metastore:
If default hdfs was specified in core-site.xml, path resolves to HDFS location.
Otherwise, path is resolved as local file: URI.
This setting becomes effective when creating new tables (takes precedence over
default DBS.DB_LOCATION_URI at time of table creation).
