Protecting hive-site.xml and hive-defaults.xml

Hi,

I have a question regarding securing the hive configuration files. The
hive-site.xml has credentials to connect to the mysql server. I will have
many users who would like to use Hive from the CLI. But I do not want them
to be able to see the configurations.

1) Is there any way I can secure the configurations?
2) Can I encode the password and will Hive be able to read the encoded
password?

Thanks & Regards,
Rakesh
