Philip Zeyliger commented on HIVE-1530:
---------------------------------------
+1. I'm a big fan of this change.
We've repeatedly had customers using an old or weird hive-default or
non-existent hive-default, and that's caused quite tricky to debug issues.
> Include hive-default.xml and hive-log4j.properties in hive-common JAR

> Key: HIVE-1530
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1530
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Configuration
> Reporter: Carl Steinbach
> Assignee: Carl Steinbach
> Fix For: 0.7.0

> hive-common-*.jar should include hive-default.xml and hive-log4j.properties,
> and similarly hive-exec-*.jar should include hive-exec-log4j.properties. The
> hive-default.xml file that currently sits in the conf/ directory should be
> removed.
> Motivations for this change:
> * We explicitly tell users that they should never modify hive-default.xml yet
> give them the opportunity to do so by placing the file in the conf dir.
> * Many users are familiar with the Hadoop configuration mechanism that does
> not require *-default.xml files to be present in the HADOOP_CONF_DIR, and
> assume that the same is true for HIVE_CONF_DIR.
