Robert Kanter updated OOZIE-1724:
---------------------------------

    Attachment: OOZIE-1724.patch

The new patch adds the ability to specify an HDFS location for the hive-site.xml to be read from.  I also made sure that the InputStream is always closed.

{quote}Also, how is hbase-site.xml handled?{quote}
I took a quick look at HbaseCredentials and there's a similar {{HBaseConfiguration.create();}} method call.  It looks like there's also {{HBaseConfiguration.create(Configuration that);}} where you can pass an HBase config.  So we could do something similar.  Though this is less important because we overlay the credential and {{<configuration>}} properties on top, so it's still possible to specify hbase-site properties that way.  For HCat, there was no other way to set properties without putting it on the classpath.  I'll create a new JIRA nevertheless.

> Currently, to specify the hive-site.xml to configure Oozie to talk to the HCatalog server (see http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/AG_Install.html#HCatalog_Configuration) it requires you to put the hive-site.xml in the classpath, which means you'd put it in the libext and run the oozie-setup.sh.  
> It would be much easier if we added an oozie-site.xml config property to specify this file, similar to how we specify the core/mapred/yarn/etc-site files for Hadoop (see http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/AG_HadoopConfiguration.html).
> Something like:
> {code:xml}
> <property>
>      <name>oozie.service.HCatAccessorService.hcat.configuration</name>
>      <value>path/to/hive-site.xml</value>
> </property>
> {code}
