The hiveconf namespace and --hiveconf should be used to set Hive configuration values. The hivevar namespace and --hivevar should be used to define user variables. Setting user variables under the hiveconf namespace probably won't break anything, but isn't recommended. The --hivevar variables are accessed using ${var-name}, while the --hiveconf are accessed ${hiveconf:var-name} inside hive. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
