Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-17788: -------------------------------------------- Hi [~alangates] I noticed this [comment|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/standalone-metastore/metastore-server/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/metastore/ObjectStore.java#L480] which mentions this JIRA. // Now, we need to look for any values that the user set that MetastoreConf doesn't know about. // TODO Commenting this out for now, as it breaks because the conf values aren't getting properly // interpolated in case of variables. See HIVE-17788. /* for (Map.Entry<String, String> e : conf) { if (e.getKey().startsWith("datanucleus.") || e.getKey().startsWith("javax.jdo.")) { // We have to handle this differently depending on whether it is a value known to // MetastoreConf or not. If it is, we need to get the default value if a value isn't // provided. If not, we just set whatever the user has set. Object prevVal = prop.setProperty(e.getKey(), e.getValue()); if (LOG.isDebugEnabled() && MetastoreConf.isPrintable(e.getKey())) { LOG.debug("Overriding " + e.getKey() + " value " + prevVal + " from jpox.properties with " + e.getValue()); } } } */ It looks like by commenting out the above for loop we would be breaking HIVE-6990 Any plans on fixing this? Let me know if you need any help from my side. Is it enough to duplicate {{HiveConf.getConfSystemProperties}} method in MetaStoreConf to re-enable this? cc [~sershe] > MetastoreConf not properly handling variable interpolation in config values > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17788 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17788 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Metastore > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Priority: Major > > HiveConf allows the user to put System properties into values in the conf > file, which will later be interpolated at read time. For example: > {code} > <property> > <name>hadoop.tmp.dir</name> > <value>${test.tmp.dir}/hadoop-tmp</value> > <description>A base for other temporary directories.</description> > </property> > {code} > The value for test.tmp.dir is read from the System properties at runtime. > MetastoreConf is instead returning the uninterpolated value. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.6.3#76005)
