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

             Summary: WebHCat reads hive.metastore.uris, etc. from different places for different types of operations
                 Key: HIVE-4749
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4749
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HCatalog
    Affects Versions: 0.11.0
            Reporter: Eugene Koifman


webhcat-default.xml (webhcat-stie.xml) has templeton.hive.properties which specifies values of some properties to pass to hive, in particular hive.metastore.uris.  This is then passes as a start up parameter to Hive when WebHCat launches Hive to execute a query.  (The design is that for job submission WebHCat expects a Hive metastore to be running somewhere.)

On the other hand, when a DDL operation is executed, WebHCat ignores webhcat-default.xml and expects hive-site.xml to contain hive.mestastore.uris, etc.

This is very confusing (unless you happen to know this).

There should be a single source of truth.
