datanucleus.fixedDatastore should be true in hive-default.xml
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-1841
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1841
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Configuration
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: Edward Capriolo
             Fix For: 0.7.0



Two datanucleus variables:
{noformat}
<property>
 <name>datanucleus.autoCreateSchema</name>
 <value>false</value>
</property>

<property>
 <name>datanucleus.fixedDatastore</name>
 <value>true</value>
</property>
{noformat}

are dangerous.  We do want the schema to auto-create itself, but we do not want 
the schema to auto update itself. 

Someone might accidentally point a trunk at the wrong meta-store and 
unknowingly update. I believe we should set this to false and possibly trap 
exceptions stemming from hive wanting to do any update. This way someone has to 
actively acknowledge the update, by setting this to true and then starting up 
hive, or leaving it false, removing schema modifies for the user that hive 
usages, and doing all the time and doing the updates by hand.
