Description

Various forms of CliDriver use CliConfigs to set the 'confDir' below (e.g. CliConfigs.SparkOnYarnCliConfig() used by TestMiniSparkOnYarnCliDriver.

QTestUtil.QTestUtil() has

    if (confDir != null && !confDir.isEmpty()) {
      HiveConf.setHiveSiteLocation(new URL("file://"+ new File(confDir).toURI().getPath() + "/hive-site.xml"));
      MetastoreConf.setHiveSiteLocation(HiveConf.getHiveSiteLocation());
      System.out.println("Setting hive-site: "+HiveConf.getHiveSiteLocation());
    }

This causes HiveConf.initialize() to load hvie-site.xml from that location.

MetastoreConf only loads hive-site.xml from the classpath which in the test environment picks up data/conf/hive-site.xml

So different parts of the system may end up disagreeing about property values.
