Peter Vary commented on HIVE-22355:
-----------------------------------
Hi [~matijhs],
Thanks for the patch. Could you please open a pull request, or a review board
request?
Few questions:
* Why is this change necessary:
{code:java}
auth =
getHiveConf(false).get(HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVE_SERVER2_AUTHENTICATION.varname);
{code}
getHiveConf does with false tries to read hive-conf from the classpath - which
usually should not be there. Why is this change necessary?
* I would prefer "NONE", or even better a constant in HiveConf instead of
.getDefaultValue() - this is not descriptive, and might change without anyone
noticing it:
{code:java}
if
(HiveConf.ConfVars.HIVE_SERVER2_AUTHENTICATION.getDefaultValue().equals(auth))
{ {code}
* Are you sure of this change:
{code:java}
password = beeLine.getConsoleReader().readLine("Enter password for " +
urlForPrompt + ": ", '*'); {code}
Seems reasonable, also unnecessary, so I would want to be absolutely sure that
nothing changes with removing "new Character()" before doing :)
* The test changes suggest to me, that this is a backward incompatible change:
{code:java}
argList.add("-a");
argList.add("NOT_NONE"); {code}
Do I miss something, or this is intended? I would prefer a change that is
backward compatible (proven by tests)
* Please fix the *new* checkstyle errors
Thanks,
Peter

> Beeline - without adding the jdbc url - prompts for username and password in
> case hive.server2.authentication=NONE, which is possibly pointless and can be
> misleading for users as any input is accepted.
> In addition, Sqoop has dropped hive cli recently in favor of beeline and if
> there is no authentication set in Hive, Sqoop fails to connect as the process
> stops waiting for the user/password input.
> I think it would be nice to check the auth type "NONE" before reading unused
> inputs from the console before this point:
