Xuefu just fixed the AdminManual Configuration
wiki<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+Configuration>,
changing bin/hive -hiveconf ... to --hiveconf, so I grepped the wiki
archive and found many more cases of single-dash hiveconf than double-dash:

> grep -i '\-\-hiveconf' * | wc
       2      16     178
> grep -i '\-hiveconf' * | wc
      24     282    4054

A bit of googling also showed both versions of the option.  So two
questions:


   1. Should I change all cases of single-dash hiveconf to double-dash in
   the wiki?
   2. Should a single-dash option be created to accommodate all the wrong
   information on the Internet and in books (including *Hadoop:  The
   Definitive Guide* and chapters 9 & 12 of *Programming Hive*)?
