Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-1513: ----------------------------------------- HADOOP_HEAPSIZE: hive-config.sh only supplies a default. if the admin has specified a value in hive-env - it will be used instead. HADOOP_OPTS: seems like it's appending a specific JVM flag. i agree this doesn't make sense (the admin should choose whether they want that flag or not). i will post another patch after taking it out. not sure about whether we should rename the template to .sh. hadoop-20 seems to have template files only. > hive starter scripts should load admin/user supplied script for > configurability > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1513 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1513 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CLI > Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma > Assignee: Joydeep Sen Sarma > Attachments: 1513.1.patch, 1513.2.patch > > > it's difficult to add environment variables to Hive starter scripts except by > modifying the scripts directly. this is undesirable (since they are source > code).

This would be similar to what hadoop does with hadoop-env.sh -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
