Szehon Ho commented on HIVE-6045: --------------------------------- I don't see any immediate changes. Do you remember if the parsing used to expect '&' character? I believe that would be the only way it would have worked, but I guess there was never a unit test for this case. I will take a look at effort to move the test to /itests/hive-unit , there are a few tests about null as empty string that seem broken when I ran it, I will have to take a look. > Beeline hivevars is broken for more than one hivevar > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-6045 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6045 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.13.0 > Reporter: Szehon Ho > Assignee: Szehon Ho > Attachments: HIVE-6045.1.patch, HIVE-6045.patch > > > HIVE-4568 introduced --hivevar flag.
