["Joydeep Sen Sarma (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1530?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12897993#action_12897993 ] 

Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-1530:
-----------------------------------------

removing the .xml files makes sense.

but users may want to modify the log4.properties files. how would do they do that in the new arrangement?

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1530
>             Project: Hadoop Hive
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Configuration

> hive-common-*.jar should include hive-default.xml and hive-log4j.properties,
> and similarly hive-exec-*.jar should include hive-exec-log4j.properties. The
> hive-default.xml file that currently sits in the conf/ directory should be removed.
> Motivations for this change:
> * We explicitly tell users that they should never modify hive-default.xml yet give them the opportunity to do so by placing the file in the conf dir.
> * Many users are familiar with the Hadoop configuration mechanism that does not require *-default.xml files to be present in the HADOOP_CONF_DIR, and assume that the same is true for HIVE_CONF_DIR.
