hive.recursive-directories is not working in Presto 0.208

[imrelori]

This property is working with version 0.180 Presto.
When I set the hive.recursive-directories property true for a presto 0.208 cluster, then we can see its value is true in the /usr/lib/presto/etc/catalog/hive.properties, but in the server.log its runtime value is false.
Unfortunately, it isn't working properly, we're still getting a different result (than with Hive query or with Presto 0.180) when we use this kind of cluster for presto queries.

Do you have any idea what is causing this bug?

@imrelori Would you share a snippet from the server.log where you see the property not being set?

Sure, here is a snippet:
2020-04-07T11:32:11.108Z INFO main Bootstrap hive.recursive-directories false false

@imrelori Could it be that Presto doesn't see this configuration file? Can you change some other property and see if it takes effect?
