Hello Hive team,
I've just found some problem with forwarding config properties from Hive CLI to general hadoop configs. Is it possible to recieve needed properties at the other side of executing query? (i.e at hadoop level) Refer to HIVE-5640 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5640> ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5640) : It is impossible to override hadoop configs through CLI In the CLI: hive> set fs.swift.service.myservice.username; fs.swift.service.myservice.username is undefined hive> set fs.swift.service.myservice.username=admin; hive> set fs.swift.service.myservice.username; fs.swift.service.myservice.username=admin hive> create table simple_table(field STRING) location 'swift://container.myservice/input/'; FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask. MetaException(message:Got exception: org.apache.hadoop.fs.swift.exceptions.SwiftConfigurationException Missing mandatory configuration option: fs.swift.service.myservice.username) But defining this property in hive-site.xml permanently and then restarting metastore service does effect. -- Nikolay
