Configuring Hive for Falcon
Falcon-generated Hive actions require changes to hive-site.xml to pass the right configuration parameters.
![]() | Important |
|---|---|
This configuration change lets you work with Hive tables and Oozie workflows, but impacts all Hive actions, including non-Falcon Oozie workflows. |
Under the oozie configuration directory (typically /etc/oozie/conf), there is a subdirectory called action-conf. Under that directory, either create or modify the file hive-site.xml and add the following property:
<property>
<name>hive.metastore.execute.setugi</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>After making this change, restart the Oozie service. If you have Oozie configured for HA, perform this configuration change on all Oozie server nodes.
