Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-17167: -------------------------------------------- Yes, without sub-classing I agree we cannot enforce this in code. Given that users can still do a conf.get("key") instead of MetastoreConf.getX(conf, key), adding a check for inconsistent values in MetastoreConf.getX() may not work for all the cases and will only add to the confusion. > Create metastore specific configuration tool > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-17167 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17167 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Alan Gates > Assignee: Alan Gates > Attachments: HIVE-17167.patch > > > As part of making the metastore a separately releasable module we need > configuration tools that are specific to that module. It cannot use or > extend HiveConf as that is in hive common. But it must take a HiveConf > object and be able to operate on it. > The best way to achieve this is using Hadoop's Configuration object (which > HiveConf extends) together with enums and static methods. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
