For what it is worth, even with all the enhancements made to hive-server 2 it is just not as reliable as the CLI. I am actually using cloudera 5.3 and we have multiple hive-server2 instances behind a load balancer. The load we are doing is not particularly heavy and the mean time to failure is < 3 days. ClouderaManager even provides a feature "automatically restart hiveserver2" it is very prone to issues. Many times I have been at the point where I have considered writing queries to a file and then launching them from the CLI -f because the reliability of hiveserver2 is questionable. I am a serious -1 on removing the CLI because it just plan works better.
