Description

The setting is described as <name>hive.merge.size.smallfiles.avgsize</name>, however common/src/java/org/apache/hadoop/hive/conf/HiveConf.java reads it as "hive.merge.smallfiles.avgsize" (note the missing '.size.') so the user's setting has no effect and the value is stuck at the default of 16MB.
