Description

Configuration management tools like Puppet and Chef depend on exit codes. In case of the hadoop-hive-server package, the /etc/init.d/hadoop-hive-server status call provides zero exit code independent of the service running or not. This makes Chef believe that the service is running and there is no need to start it. The fix should be very easy, only changing the three occurances of the $status variable in the service's hive_status() function to $RETVAL.
