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}

> HIVE-5160 resolves an env variable at runtime via calling System.getenv(). As 
> long as the variable is not defined when you run the build null is returned 
> and the path is not placed in the hive-default,template. However if it is 
> defined it will populate hive-default.template with a path which will be 
> different based on the user running the build. We should use 
> $\{system:HIVE_CONF_DIR\} instead.
