Vaibhav Aggarwal commented on HIVE-1604:
----------------------------------------
I think that introducing a new option '-d' is simpler as compared to reusing
'-hiveconf'.
We have been using this patch at Amazon Elastic Map Reduce for allowing
variable substitution in Hive.
We just wanted to contribute it back.
Please feel free to use this patch for introducing variables if it meets
expectations.
Else we can wait for the HIVE 1096 to be committed.
Thanks
