Mohit and I ran into some unit test failures when running them locally, e.g.
TestSessionHooks TestPlainSaslHelper TestSessionGlobalInitFile TestTxnCommands TestDbTxnManager I did a git bisect and looks like it's due to HIVE-12628. This JIRA introduced hive-common dependency for ql, and since there's a hive-site.xml under hive-common, the failing tests mentioned above picked up this wrong hive-site.xml. But I don't understand why those tests didn't fail on ptest. Tickets opened for this issue: HIVE-12685 HIVE-12670 Thanks, Wei
