I would like to understand better how Hadoop Hortnoworks driver works. In particular, I'm interested in whether it's possible to pass custom settings to Hive. When writing queries in HiveQL I usually tend to define certain settings, like for instance:

set hive.auto.convert.join = false;

Which helps to avoid error described here. Does Hive connectivity offered within Tableau allow for passing custom settings to Hive? If so, how this can be done?
