AboutThisWiki

The Apache Hive wiki originally started out as a subspace in the Apache Hadoop MoinMoin wiki (when Hive was still a Hadoop subproject). When Hive graduated to become a top-level project, we moved its wiki out to a top-level Confluence wiki. (The MoinMoin wiki has been under attack by spammers, captchas weren't helping, and there didn't seem to be a way to use access control to defend the Hive subspace.)

Just like in a real move, sometimes stuff gets broken in transit. The MoinMoin and Confluence markup languages are somewhat different, and the migration tools we used didn't preserve everything perfectly. We've been manually fixing things up as we get time. You can help! In order to edit the wiki, you'll first need an account, and then you can post on the Hive users mailing list requesting write access.

Things that need fixing:

• if you spot a broken link, look for the page name in this list and fix the link
• if you see bad markup (usually highlighted in red), fix it; Confluence markup syntax is the same as JIRA since they come from the same company
• if you see spam links left over from the MoinMoin days, remove it

We're working on restoring the attachments from the MoinMoin wiki and re-linking them.

To prevent further edits on the MoinMoin source, we've deleted all the pages there (replacing them with instructions for how to find their new locations), but we have a full backup of the MoinMoin data in case we notice that anything was entirely lost in the move.
