The behavior of Hive on MR3 is specified by the configuration file hive-site.xml in the classpath. Below we describe configuration keys relevant to Hive on MR3.

Name Default value Description
hive.execution.engine mr3 Should be set to tez (or mr3 for Hive 3 on MR3) to use MR3 as the execution engine.
hive.execution.mode container Hive on MR3 supports both container or llap. Use container for stable execution and llap for fast execution.
hive.mr3.application.name.prefix hive-mr3 Prefix of MR3 application names
hive.mr3.client.connect.timeout 60000ms Timeout for Hive on MR3 to establish connection to MR3 DAGAppMaster
hive.mr3.resource.vcores.divisor 1 Divisor for the number of cores. Legitimate values are integers between 1 to 1000 (inclusive). Affects the interpretation of the following configuration keys: hive.mr3.map.task.vcores, hive.mr3.reduce.task.vcores, hive.mr3.all-in-one.containergroup.vcores, hive.mr3.map.containergroup.vcores, hive.mr3.reduce.containergroup.vcores, hive.mr3.llap.daemon.task.vcores. Example: if hive.mr3.resource.vcores.divisor is set to 1000, a value of 1 is interpreted as a 1000-th of a core.
hive.mr3.map.task.memory.mb -1 Memory in MB allocated to each mapper. If set to -1, Hive on MR3 reads MRJobConfig.MAP_MEMORY_MB. Can be set to 0 (but not recommended).
hive.mr3.reduce.task.memory.mb -1 Memory in MB allocated to each reducer. If set to -1, Hive on MR3 reads MRJobConfig.REDUCE_MEMORY_MB. Can be set to 0 (but not recommended).
hive.mr3.map.task.vcores -1 Number of cores allocated to each mapper. If set to -1, Hive on MR3 reads MRJobConfig.MAP_CPU_VCORES. Can be set to 0 (which can be convenient in some cases).
hive.mr3.reduce.task.vcores -1 Number of cores allocated to each reducer. If set to -1, Hive on MR3 reads MRJobConfig.REDUCE_CPU_VCORES. Can be set to 0 (which can be convenient in some cases).

hive.mr3.container.use.per.query.cache true true: use per-query cache shared by all tasks in the same container. false: do not use.
hive.mr3.all-in-one.containergroup.memory.mb -1 Memory in MB allocated to each ContainerGroup under all-in-one scheme. If set to 0 or lower, reset to a default value of 1024.
