[jira] [Comment Edited] (HIVE-17759) Prevent the misuses of HiveConf.ConfVars.default fields

-------------------------------------------------------------------

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...
this might alsp open up the possibility to add some validators to the conf values...because currently we can't easily specify that something can't be negative...
* 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
