It's been a month without further comments, so I'm planning to swap out the current CLI wikidoc next week, replacing it with this draft:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/Revised+LanguageManual+Cli Thanks to Sushanth Sowmyan for reviewing the draft. Additional reviews are welcome. I'll make the swap on Thursday, August 30th. – Lefty Leverenz ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Lefty Leverenz <le...@hortonworks.com> Date: Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 7:01 PM Subject: Re: Hive CLI wikidoc review To: dev@hive.apache.org Okay, we can get rid of the xdoc but what about this information from it? The cli when invoked without the -i option will attempt to load HIVE_HOME/bin/.hiverc and $HOME/.hiverc as initialization files. Is it still useful, or should I delete it from the draft? – Lefty On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 6:44 PM, Edward Capriolo <edlinuxg...@gmail.com>wrote: > The xdoc should be removed its dead and out of sync. > > On Tue, Jul 24, 2012 at 7:21 PM, Lefty Leverenz <le...@hortonworks.com> > wrote: > > The Hive CLI< > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+Cli> > > wikidoc > > differs slightly from the xdocs > > version<http://hive.apache.org/docs/r0.9.0/language_manual/cli.html> > > (source-controlled > > xml file) and they both need updating, so I merged them into a single > > wikidoc for review by this community.
