------------------------------------
Summary: beeline - support prompt for password with '-u' option
Key: HIVE-13589
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13589
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Beeline
Reporter: Thejas M Nair
Specifying connection string using commandline options in beeline is
convenient, as it gets saved in shell command history, and it is easy to
retrieve it from there.
However, specifying the password in command prompt is not secure as it gets
displayed on screen and saved in the history.
It should be possible to specify '-p' without an argument to make beeline
prompt for password.
