             Summary: [Documentation] Remove hive.metastore.warehouse.dir from Client Configuration Parameters list in Remote Metastore section
                 Key: HIVE-7903
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-7903
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Documentation
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0
            Reporter: Mariano Dominguez


Source: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/AdminManual+MetastoreAdmin#AdminManualMetastoreAdmin-RemoteMetastore

In Remote Metastore deployment mode, neither the Hive CLI nor the Beeline can change the value of the ‘hive.metastore.warehouse.dir’ property because it is a “server-side” property.

Changing the value can be accomplished, however, by running in Local Metastore mode (that is, bypassing the Hive Metastore Server and directly accessing the Metastore database):

1) At runtime
$ hive --hiveconf hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path> -e “<query>”
$ beeline --hiveconf hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path> -n <username> -p <password> -u <connection_string> -e <query>

2) In the shell
hive > SET hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path>;
beeline > SET hive.metastore.warehouse.dir=<path>;

3) From configuration file: hive-site.xml

This property gets cached once a table/database is created; therefore, subsequent value changes will not take effect. You will need to start a new session to re-set the property.
