I noticed that conf/hive-default.xml.template has the following description
<property> <name>hive.ppd.remove.duplicatefilters</name> <value>true</value> <description>Whether to push predicates down into storage handlers. Ignored when hive.optimize.ppd is false.</description> </property> Most probably the description was taken from "hive.optimize.ppd.storage" So, what is the correct description for "hive.ppd.remove.duplicatefilters"?
