Eugene Koifman commented on HIVE-18238:
---------------------------------------
I think AcidUtils.CONF_ACID_KEY (hive.doing.acid) is used to disable
CombineInputFormat for queries reading Acid tables.
It should be per query rather than per session.
It was most likely introduced back when Driver copied Configuration so the
"unset" happened automatically.
If it gets set permanently I don't think that would show up in UTs unless they
explicitly check for use of CombineInputFormat
> Driver execution may not have configuration changing sideeffects
