[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7342?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Thejas M Nair updated HIVE-7342: -------------------------------- Description: 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, hivemetastore-site.xml) that override the entries in hive-site.xml will make the configuration much more easy to manage. was: 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.
