Mithun Radhakrishnan commented on HIVE-10304:
---------------------------------------------
Hello, [~szehon]. Pardon the delay; I wish I'd responded sooner.
There was a discussion on the dev user-list that concluded that we shouldn't be
deprecating the Hive command-line until we have interface/error-code parity
between beeline and the CLI.
[Here|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hive-dev/201412.mbox/%3ccabgngzfnjhnfv0p15+glmznf-gogw6dm9xotgoqh+dnyg3z...@mail.gmail.com%3E]
is one thread. To quote:
bq. +1 to the idea of embedding beeline within hive cli, and retaining core
behavior such as exit codes in hive-cli while doing that... users don't have to
specify parameters like jdbc url, username etc.
The issue I see here is that there are still Hive installations that depend on
the CLI, and don't depend entirely on HS2 deploys. (Where I work, for
instance.) I'd be very keen to see the embedded-beeline option in working order.
Could we please discuss this check-in? I don't know if it's a good idea to push
this into the impending release. I fear that the deprecation will be too
disruptive, without proper recourse.

> As Beeline is now the recommended command line tool to Hive, we should add a

> Beeline.
> This is not suggesting to remove HiveCLI for now, but just a helpful
> direction for user to know the direction to focus attention in Beeline.
