"set" command is case-sensitive; also lacks "EXTENDED" support, as documented on http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/Hive/HiveQL --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4548 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4548 Project: Hadoop Core Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Jeff Hammerbacher When I try to run "SET;" from the Hive shell, I get a parse error (FAILED: Parse Error: line 1:0 cannot recognize input 'SET'). It works if I run "set;". Also, when I try to run "set extended;", I get a new kind of error, with error message "extended is undefined". On another note, can we alias "SET;" to something more descriptive, like "SHOW VARIABLES" (e.g. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/show-variables.html)? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
