In older Hive versions (0.10 and earlier) no distinction was made between partition columns or non-partition columns while displaying columns in DESCRIBE TABLE. From version 0.12 onwards, they are displayed separately. This flag will let you get the old behavior, if desired. See test-case in patch for HIVE-6689.

hive.limit.query.max.table.partition

• Default Value: -1
• Added In: Hive 0.13.0 with HIVE-6492

To protect the cluster, this controls how many partitions can be scanned for each partitioned table. The default value "-1" means no limit. The limit on partitions does not affect metadata-only queries.

hive.files.umask.value

• Default Value: 0002
• Added In: (none, but temporarily in patches for HIVE-2504 before release 0.9.0) 
• Removed In: Hive 0.9.0 (HIVE-2504-1.patch), replaced by hive.warehouse.subdir.inherit.perms
