[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-17759) Raise class security around HiveConf.ConfVars.default fields to prevent misuses

["Zoltan Haindrich (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17759?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16198615#comment-16198615 ] 

Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-17759:
-----------------------------------------

I would like to recommend to evaluate the following options:

* rethink the whole HiveConf...to use some annotation level thing like:
{code}
@HiveConfVariable{ name="hive.main.asd",
description = "long story",
altNames = {"hadoop.sql.main.sql","hadoop.hive.sql" }
}
Integer asd = 5; // this is the default value
// the type is the field type...can go wrong..
{code}
altought these fields are not entirely used just to collect the informations; I think it would feel natural...

* introduce some templating if possible....(should HiveConf be tied to an enum?
* or....add some getters which check the current "type" of the conf variable
