6. 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 series of subdirectories action-conf/hive. Under the hive subdirectory, 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.
