Here's the explanation I put in the Regions section <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-Regions> of Configuration Properties:
Reverted by HIVE-2612 in Hive 0.9.0 Icon The configuration properties that used to be documented in this section (hive.use.input.primary.region, hive.default.region.name, and hive.region.properties) existed temporarily in trunk before Hive release 0.9.0 but they were removed before the release. See HIVE-2612 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2612> and HIVE-2965 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2965>. Apologies for any confusion caused by their former inclusion in this document. Now all the parameters have version information in the wiki. Of course that doesn't mean the wiki has all the parameters. (WIP.) -- Lefty On Sun, Aug 3, 2014 at 10:24 PM, Lefty Leverenz <leftylever...@gmail.com> wrote: > Well sleuthed, Lars! Thanks very much.
