Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-12346: --------------------------------------- Doc note: This adds *hive.conf.internal.variable.list* to HiveConf.java, so it needs to be documented in the wiki. Perhaps it belongs in the section currently called Restricted/Hidden List and Whitelist. * [Configuration Properties -- Restricted/Hidden List and Whitelist | https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Configuration+Properties#ConfigurationProperties-Restricted/HiddenListandWhitelist] The wiki does not document three configs in the default value (*hive.added.files.path*, *hive.added.jars.path*, and *hive.added.archives.path*) so they don't need to be updated. > Internally used variables in HiveConf should not be settable via command > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-12346 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-12346 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Configuration > Affects Versions: 1.2.1 > Reporter: Chaoyu Tang > Assignee: Chaoyu Tang > Labels: TODOC1.3 > Fix For: 1.3.0, 2.0.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-12346.1.patch, HIVE-12346.patch > > > Some HiveConf variables such as hive.added.jars.path are only for internal > use and should not be settable via set command. > We saw a lot of cases that users mistakenly set these variables using set > command despite some of them have been documented as "internal parameter" in > Hive. The command usually succeeds but it sometimes does not effect, which > causes some confusions. For example, the hive.added.jars.path can be set via > set command but it is sometimes overridden by session resource jars during > runtime. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
