------------------------------------------
Summary: beeline to auto connect to the HiveServer2
Key: HIVE-14064
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14064
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Beeline
Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
Priority: Minor
Currently one has to give an jdbc:hive2 url in order for Beeline to connect a
hiveserver2 instance. It would be great if Beeline can get the info somehow
(from a properties file at a well-known location?) and connect automatically if
user doesn't specify such a url. If the properties file is not present, then
beeline would expect user to provide the url and credentials using !connect or
./beeline -u .. commands
While Beeline is flexible (being a mere JDBC client), most environments would
have just a single HS2. Having users to manually connect into this via either
"beeline ~/.propsfile" or -u or !connect statements is lowering the experience
part.
