Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-30:
-------------------------------------

>>hwi shell script:
I see what you are saying.  Ill add this capability. This would make the hive 
script work more like /bin/hadoop

>>I think it will be fairly critical to take in userids and propagate them to 
>>hive/hadoop (by setting user.name property).
Once you have started the hive session. You have access to the set processor. 
You should be able to do. SET user.name=ecapriolo. I could make a form to this 
effect to make setting these things easier, but the session_set_processor.jsp 
allows for set commands. 

>>Another thing i just noticed - Hive's current runtime assumes a singleton 
>>SessionState object. 
I had not looked deep into that part of the API. That would block me. I guess 
it did not come up on any ones radar till now.

>>why don't we just replace 'sessionname' with 'userid' ?
I was looking at this like a user can have more then one session, that being 
the case a name would identify it. 

>>please set the session to silent mode. 
Sounds good. I figured most queries would output to a HDFS file. I viewed the 
result file as a good way to debug. A normal user would expect whatever came 
out of the CLI to be in the results file. I will add a debug switch. In the API

>>how was this tested? 
Me and a live server. Smaller data sets, simple queries. I did not pick up on 
the 'singleton SessionState object' issue.

>>any reason why QUERY_SET etc. should not be an enum type?
I'm just old school. I will change it to enum.

> Hive needs a web interface. The initial checkin should have:
> * simple schema browsing
> * query submission
> * query history (similar to MySQL's SHOW PROCESSLIST)
> A suggested feature: the ability to have a query notify the user when it's 
> completed.
> Edward Capriolo has expressed some interest in driving this process.
