Description

The wiki's AdminManual Configuration doc discusses hive-site.xml without giving any filepaths or explaining which files override the others. This needs to be clarified, as well as the relationship between hive-site.xml and HiveConf.java.

• AdminManual – Configuration – Configuring Hive
• AdminManual – Configuration – hive-site.xml and hive-default.xml.template
