The wiki has a small section for region configuration parameters <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-Regions>, but none of the parameters exist in any released branch -- not in HiveConf.java, not in the old hive-default.xml file, not in the template file.
The word "region" doesn't even exist in any HiveConf or default.xml file. - Does anyone know where these three parameters came from? - Can they be deleted from the wiki?
