Apologies if this has been asked before but I have been unable to find much information on the subject.
I am using HDP 2.2.4 with Ambari 2.0.1 and I am wanting to configure the Hiveserver2 instance to use a remote metastore server. I have made changes to the config in Ambari to update hive-site and hiveserver2-site with the correct value in hive.metastore.uris. But that value appears to be ignored by my Hiveserver2 instance.
The only way I can see to get this to work is to manually change these 2 files:
/var/lib/ambari-server/resources/common-services/HIVE/0.12.0.2.0/package/templates/startHiveserver2.sh.j2
/var/lib/ambari-agent/cache/common-services/HIVE/0.12.0.2.0/package/templates/startHiveserver2.sh.j2
And remove the reference to hive.metastore.uris from the HIVE_CONF_DIR definition.
IS this the only way to make this change?
Also is this still the same in later versions of Ambari?
Thanks for any assistance.
