Thejas Nair commented on HIVE-22355:
------------------------------------

Why is username defaulting to "hive" ?
IMO, it should behave like "hive" cli used to, which is to pick current unix 
username.
HIVE-20734 made the hive redirect to beeline use that.

> 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:
