John Sichi commented on HIVE-1096:
----------------------------------
Regarding error reporting (where the line/col offsets may be shifted by the
substitutions), one possible solution (which I implemented for view reparse) is
to include the processed text along with the error message. Downside is that
the error message length becomes proportional to the SQL.
Another way to do it is something like this.
-------------------------------^
and then only include the line with the error.

> Key: HIVE-1096

> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Edward Capriolo
> Assignee: Edward Capriolo

> From mailing list:
> --Amazon Elastic MapReduce version of Hive seems to have a nice feature
> called "Variables." Basically you can define a variable via command-line
> while invoking hive with -d DT=2009-12-09 and then refer to the variable via
> ${DT} within the hive queries. This could be extremely useful. I can't seem
> to find this feature even on trunk. Is this feature currently anywhere in the
> roadmap?--
> This could be implemented in many places.
> A simple place to put this is
> in Driver.compile or Driver.run we can do string substitutions at that level,
> and further downstream need not be effected.
> There could be some benefits to doing this further downstream, parser,plan.
> but based on the simple needs we may not need to overthink this.
> I will get started on implementing in compile unless someone wants to discuss
> this more.
