-----------------------------------
Summary: task : collect list of hive configuration params whose
default should change
Key: HIVE-5875
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5875
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
Assignee: Thejas M Nair
The immediate motivation for this was the ticket HIVE-4485 . Beeline prints
NULLs as empty strings. This is not a desirable behavior. But if we fix it, it
breaks backward compatibility.
But we should not be burdening all users with mistakes of the past, specially
the users who are new to hive. As hadoop and hive adoption increases proportion
of 'new' users will continue to increase.
We need a way to let users choose between backward compatible behavior and more
sensible behavior. How this is implemented can be discussed in a separate
jira.
The purpose of this *Task* jira is just to collect list of config flags whose
current default is not the desirable one.
