Ashutosh Chauhan commented on HIVE-5085:
----------------------------------------

Is there never a case when someone wants to pass in HIVE_OPTS to metatool. Is there an alternative for it?

> If HIVE_OPTS were to be set, then the Hive Metatool fails on parsing the commandline arguments. This can happen, for example, if HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH were to include the HCatalog jar.
> The result, then, is that it tries to execute the following:
> {code}
> exec $HADOOP jar ${HIVE_LIB}/hive-cli-*.jar $CLASS $HIVE_OPTS "$@"
> {code}
> which maps to:
> {noformat}
> exec /usr/lib/hadoop/bin/hadoop jar /usr/lib/hive/lib/hive-cli-0.11.0.2.0.5.0-30.jar org.apache.hadoop.hive.metastore.tools.HiveMetaTool -hiveconf hive.aux.jars.path=file:///usr/lib/hcatalog/share/hcatalog/hcatalog-core.jar -listFSRoot
> {noformat}
> Then Metatool chokes on seeing the "-hiveconf" parameter.
