John Sichi commented on HIVE-1405:
----------------------------------
I'm thinking of addressing the requirement by adding a -i option to explicitly
specify an initialization script. This could be used multiple times to invoke
multiple initialization scripts in the order they appear on the hive command
line, e.g.
hive -i /everyone/hiveinit.sql -i /home/jvs/myhiveinit.sql -f test.sql
The new -i option would be compatible with -f, -e, and with interactive console
(no -f/-e). The -i scripts would always be run before the -e/-f.
This allows wrapper scripts to build up the global/local .bashrc functionality
in installation-specific ways; I don't think we want to dictate that within
Hive itself.
Would this be good enough?

> When deploying hive, it would be nice to have a .hiverc file containing
> statements that would be automatically run whenever hive is launched. This
> way, we can automatically add JARs, create temporary functions, set flags,
> etc. for all users quickly.
> This should ideally be set up like .bashrc and the like with a global version
> and a user-local version.
