Summary: [Documentation] Remove hive.metastore.warehouse.dir from Client Configuration Parameters list in Remote Metastore section Key: HIVE-7903 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7903 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 0.12.0 Reporter: Mariano Dominguez Source: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+MetastoreAdmin#AdminManualMetastoreAdmin-RemoteMetastore In Remote Metastore deployment mode, neither the Hive CLI nor the Beeline can change the value of the ‘hive.metastore.warehouse.dir’ property because it is a “server-side” property. Changing the value can be accomplished, however, by running in Local Metastore mode (that is, bypassing the Hive Metastore Server and directly accessing the Metastore database): 1) At runtime $ hive --hiveconf hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path> -e “<query>” $ beeline --hiveconf hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path> -n <username> -p <password> -u <connection_string> -e <query> 2) In the shell hive > SET hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path>; beeline > SET hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path>; 3) From configuration file: hive-site.xml This property gets cached once a table/database is created; therefore, subsequent value changes will not take effect. You will need to start a new session to re-set the property. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
