[jira] [Commented] (OOZIE-1724) Make it easier to specify the HCat hive-site.xml for the Oozie Server

["Mona Chitnis (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1724?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14010116#comment-14010116 ] 

Mona Chitnis commented on OOZIE-1724:
-------------------------------------

I think in addition to /local/filesystem/path/to/hive-site.xml, we should also add the ability to load from HDFS path. This would be on similar lines to sharelib, where one refers to a centralized HDFS location for such external dependencies - e.g. Hive, HBase and so on.

Also, how is hbase-site.xml handled?

> Currently, to specify the hive-site.xml to configure Oozie to talk to the HCatalog server (see http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/AG_Install.html#HCatalog_Configuration) it requires you to put the hive-site.xml in the classpath, which means you'd put it in the libext and run the oozie-setup.sh.  
> It would be much easier if we added an oozie-site.xml config property to specify this file, similar to how we specify the core/mapred/yarn/etc-site files for Hadoop (see http://oozie.apache.org/docs/4.0.0/AG_HadoopConfiguration.html).
> Something like:
> {code:xml}
> <property>
>      <name>oozie.service.HCatAccessorService.hcat.configuration</name>
>      <value>path/to/hive-site.xml</value>
> </property>
> {code}
