             Summary: Make it easier to specify the HCat hive-site.xml for the Oozie Server
                 Key: OOZIE-1724
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-1724
             Project: Oozie
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 4.0.0
            Reporter: Robert Kanter


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}
