Adam Kramer resolved HIVE-430. ------------------------------ Resolution: Fixed -- works fine now. Dunno who/when this happened, but it works. > Ability to comment desired for hive query files > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-430 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-430 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Wish > Components: Clients, Query Processor > Reporter: Adam Kramer > Priority: Minor > > It is, in many cases, quite useful to write a query, save it in a file, and > "run" the file with hive \-f filename. However, as time passes and many such > files are written, it becomes unclear why I did things the way I did--the > solution for most code is to comment the code, and I would love to be able to > comment hive code in .sql/.hql files or queries. > Standard SQL comment structure is anything following a non-escaped non-quoted > "-- " or "#" on a single line should cause the rest of the line to be > ignored. I would love to have this in hive...both in the CLI (for when I > paste a query in) and in the hive -f file reader option. C-style // and /* */ > commenting would be great too, but only because I'm lazy. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
