Info
titleVersion information

Prior to Hive 0.13.0, user.name was specified in POST requests as a form parameter: curl -d user.name=<user>.

In Hive 0.13.0 onward, user.name should be specified in the query string (as shown above): 'http://.../templeton/v1/hive?user.name=<name>'. Specifying user.name as a form parameter is deprecated.
