You can also use the HDP utility script to fine-tune memory configuration settings based on node hardware specifications.
Copy the configuration files.
On all Hive hosts create the Hive configuration directory:
rm -r $HIVE_CONF_DIR ; mkdir -p $HIVE_CONF_DIR;
Copy all the configuration files to the $HIVE_CONF_DIR directory.
Set appropriate permissions:
chown -R $HIVE_USER:$HADOOP_GROUP $HIVE_CONF_DIR/../ ; chmod -R 755 $HIVE_CONF_DIR/../ ;
where:
$HIVE_CONF_DIR is the directory to store the Hive configuration files. For example, /etc/hive/conf.
$HIVE_USER is the user owning the Hive services. For example, hive.
$HADOOP_GROUP is a common group shared by services. For example, hadoop.
