Description

If HIVE_OPTS is set schematool command fails to start. To repro this set HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH

$ export HIVE_AUX_JARS_PATH=/path/lib.jar

Above export adds a --hiveconf option to the commandline args to HiveSchemaTool which doesn't recognize it.

$ hive-install-dir/bin/schematool -dbType derby -info
