Lars Francke resolved HIVE-38. ------------------------------ Resolution: Not a Problem Closing this as the Metastore has changed significantly since then and the options seem _relatively_ straightforward to me. Feel free to reopen with concrete problems if needed. > streamline metastore options in hive-default.xml > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-38 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-38 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Configuration > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > Priority: Minor > > there are quite a few metastore configurations for hive. > 1) specify the type of metastore to use (sql or file -- usefilestore option) > 2) embedded derby datbase (by setting JDBCDriverName option) > 3) local mode (where each instance of hive connects to the sql store directly > -- local option) > 4) remote mode (where each instance of hive connects to a metastore server > instead of sql store (using uri option) > names and setting all these options are very confusing and not simple. This > JIRA is to streamline this to make these options more simple. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
