John Sichi commented on HIVE-987:
---------------------------------
Change SQLLINE_OPTS to this to use embedded mode:
SQLLINE_OPTS='-u jdbc:hive:// -d org.apache.hadoop.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver -n sa'
Options such as this can also be overridden on the command line when invoking,
e.g. to connect to a particular server:
hive --service beeline -u jdbc:hive://theirserver:10001/default

> Key: HIVE-987
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-987
> Project: Hadoop Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Carl Steinbach
> Attachments: HIVE-987.1.patch, sqlline-1.0.8_eb.jar
>
>
> Add the following features to the Hive CLI:
> * Command History
> * ReadLine support
> ** HIVE-120: Add readline support/support for alt-based commands in the CLI
> ** Java-ReadLine is LGPL, but it depends on GPL readline library. We probably
> need to use JLine instead.
> * Tab completion
> ** HIVE-97: tab completion for hive cli
> * Embedded/Standalone CLI modes, and ability to connect to different Hive
> Server instances.
> ** HIVE-818: Create a Hive CLI that connects to hive ThriftServer
> * .hiverc configuration file
> ** HIVE-920: .hiverc doesnt work
> * Improved support for comments.
> ** HIVE-430: Ability to comment desired for hive query files
> * Different output formats
> ** HIVE-49: display column header on CLI
> ** XML output format
> For additional inspiration we may want to look at the Postgres psql shell:
> http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-psql.html
> Finally, it would be really cool if we implemented this in a generic fashion
> and spun it off as an apache-commons
> shell framework. It seems like most of the Apache Hadoop projects have their
> own shells, and I'm sure the same is true
> for non-Hadoop Apache projects as well.
