Description

Current hive template:

https://github.com/apache/bigtop/blob/master/bigtop-deploy/puppet/modules/hadoop_hive/templates/hive-site.xml

Suggestions for improvement:

• allow the user to pass external db connection config instead of always configuring for an embedded derby metastore; expose the following new template options:
  • javax.jdo.option.ConnectionURL
  • javax.jdo.option.ConnectionDriverName
  • javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName
  • javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword

• configurable heap size
  • do something like hbase
  • this will require a hive-env.sh template, which currently does not exist
