Sergey Shelukhin resolved HIVE-15047.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
Nm, I looked at the wrong piece of code. There's metaVars, metaConfVars, and
metaConfs
> metastore setconf API can set too many confs
> --------------------------------------------

> Key: HIVE-15047
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-15047
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Sergey Shelukhin
>
> {noformat}
> public void setMetaConf(String key, String value) throws MetaException {
> ConfVars confVar = HiveConf.getMetaConf(key);
> {noformat}
> that gets stuff from "metaConfs", which contains all the metastore configs,
> including the warehouse location, port (setting that unfortunately would not
> work; imagine the possibilities!), etc.
> There's another small list near metaConfs - metaConfVars, billed as "User
> configurable Metastore vars". That is probably the list that was intended for
> the above API; as it is, it's not used for any checks.
> When making the change SetProcessor etc. should be adjusted to fail with some
> user-friendly message when trying to set unsettable metastore configs.
