Sergio Peña commented on HIVE-15881:
------------------------------------
[~ashutoshc] [~poeppt] [~stakiar] What do you think about this change? We have
found this variable name a little confusing because it is a Hadoop-specific
variable, and the Utilities is used just for Hive. The new and old variable
will do the same thing during Hive 2.x.
> Use new thread count variable name instead of mapred.dfsclient.parallelism.max

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Query Planning
> Reporter: Sergio Peña

> Priority: Minor

> The Utilities class has two methods, {{getInputSummary}} and
> {{getInputPaths}}, that use the variable {{mapred.dfsclient.parallelism.max}}
> to get the summary of a list of input locations in parallel. These methods
> are Hive related, but the variable name does not look it is specific for Hive.
> Also, the above variable is not on HiveConf nor used anywhere else. I just
> found a reference on the Hadoop MR1 code.
> I'd like to propose the deprecation of {{mapred.dfsclient.parallelism.max}},
> and use a different variable name, such as
> {{hive.get.input.listing.num.threads}}, that reflects the intention of the
> variable. The removal of the old variable might happen on Hive 3.x
