Sushanth Sowmyan commented on HIVE-7342:
----------------------------------------
HCatCLI should mimic HiveCLI in behaviour. WebHCat uses HCatCLI to perform HCat
operations if I remember correctly.
HCatIF/HCatOF were designed with an expectation of a remote metastore, but if
it behaves the way you suggest, then that's appropriate.
That said, I will admit to having some worries about what happens when a
parameter is specified in multiple configs, and what the resolution order winds
up being. I would like to look through this patch as well.
> support hiveserver2,metastore specific config files

> Issue Type: Bug

>
> There is currently a single configuration file for all components in hive.
> ie, components such as hive cli, hiveserver2 and metastore all read from the
> same hive-site.xml.
> It will be useful to have a server specific hive-site.xml, so that you can
> have some different configuration value set for a server. For example, you
> might want to enabled authorization checks for hiveserver2, while disabling
> the checks for hive cli. The workaround today is to add any component
> specific configuration as a commandline (-hiveconf) argument.
> Using server specific config files (eg hiveserver2-site.xml,
> metastore-site.xml) that override the entries in hive-site.xml will make the
> configuration much more easy to manage.
