Dong Chen commented on HIVE-7497: --------------------------------- Hi, Brock, do you think shall we use $\{env:HIVE_CONF_DIR\} instead of $\{system:HIVE_CONF_DIR\} ? In HIVE-6037, the property default values are changed like below: System.getProperty("xxx") to "$\{system:xxx\}" System.getenv("xxx") to "$\{system:xxx\}" Is it better to make the 2nd case to "$\{env:xxx\}" ? Otherwise, the property may not get right env value in runtime. If yes, I think the property HIVEHWIWARFILE may also need change like HIVE_GLOBAL_INIT_FILE_LOCATION. In old HiveConf.java, its value is System.getenv("HWI_WAR_FILE")). And in new version, it is $\{system:HWI_WAR_FILE\} > HIVE_GLOBAL_INIT_FILE_LOCATION should default to ${system:HIVE_CONF_DIR} > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-7497 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7497 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Task > Reporter: Brock Noland > Attachments: HIVE-7497.patch > > > HIVE-5160 resolves an env variable at runtime via calling System.getenv().
