Reuben Kuhnert commented on HIVE-12891:
---------------------------------------
I wonder if it would make sense to catch the exception and wrap in it something
to tell the user that relative paths for {{java.io.tmpdir}} are not allowed (if
that is indeed the case). Let me know, should be an easy change.
As for the config documentation? Do you mean in
[HiveConf|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/b9d65f159d39614f510c64e58d7b09b4cf38f96f/common/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/conf/HiveConf.java#L253]
or somewhere else?
Thanks
