Sushanth Sowmyan updated HIVE-5085: ----------------------------------- Attachment: HIVE-5085.patch Added patch to null out HIVE_OPTS before calling execHiveCmd from metatool. > Hive Metatool errors out if HIVE_OPTS is set > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5085 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5085 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Clients > Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan > Attachments: HIVE-5085.patch > > > If HIVE_OPTS were to be set, then the Hive Metatool fails on parsing the > commandline arguments. This can happen, for example, if HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH > were to include the HCatalog jar. > The result, then, is that it tries to execute the following: > {code} > exec $HADOOP jar ${HIVE_LIB}/hive-cli-*.jar $CLASS $HIVE_OPTS "$@" > {code} > which maps to: > {noformat} > exec /usr/lib/hadoop/bin/hadoop jar > /usr/lib/hive/lib/hive-cli-0.11.0.2.0.5.0-30.jar > org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.tools.HiveMetaTool -hiveconf > hive.aux.jars.path=file:///usr/lib/hcatalog/share/hcatalog/hcatalog-core.jar > -listFSRoot > {noformat} > Then Metatool chokes on seeing the "-hiveconf" parameter. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
