             Summary: Hive settings entry has usability problems
                 Key: AMBARI-14478
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMBARI-14478
             Project: Ambari
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: ambari-views
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Pallav Kulshreshtha
            Assignee: Pallav Kulshreshtha
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.2.1


Hive settings offers autocomplete of a partial set of Hive settings.

There are a few things annoying about the current behavior, mostly coming down to how the UI tries to make the field un-editable.

This means:
1. You can't select the text, it's treated as atomic all-or-nothing.
2. A single backspace will delete the entire field.
3. You can't edit within the field.
I guess you could say these are really all the same thing. Yet, strangely if I type in from the start I can backspace / edit.

What I tried was to copy/paste some output from Hive CLI then edit it. When I paste hive.auto.convert.join=true into the field, I can't go in and delete the "=true" part, I have to only copy hive.auto.convert.join. This is annoying from a usability point of view.
