Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-24348:
--------------------------------------
Fix has been committed to master. Thanks for the additional work [~achennagiri]
in getting this in.
[~belugabehr] Abhay has tested the dfs functionality with the standalone
Beeline distribution. It has been found to be working fine. If there other
dependencies that are missing, I think it would work if we added a hive-env.sh
script and setting some CLASSPATH variables in here. It might be a fair
expectation for users to do so.
Now that these dfs commands have been supported for a while now, it will be
hard remove it and break backward-compatibility (not sure what the original
intent was to include this functionality).
> Beeline: Isolating dependencies and execution with java
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-24348
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24348
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Beeline
> Affects Versions: 3.1.0
> Reporter: Naveen Gangam
> Assignee: Abhay
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 1h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Currently, beeline code, binaries and executables are somewhat tightly
> coupled with the hive product. To be able to execute beeline from a node with
> just JRE installed and some jars in classpath is impossible.
> * beeline.sh/hive scripts rely on HADOOP_HOME to be set which are designed to
> use "hadoop" executable to run beeline.
> * Ideally, just the hive-beeline.jar and hive-jdbc-standalone jars should be
> enough but sadly they arent. The latter jar adds more problems than it solves
> because all the classfiles are shaded some dependencies cannot be resolved.
> * Beeline has many other dependencies like hive-exec, hive-common.
> hadoop-common, supercsv, jline, commons-cli, commons-io, commons-logging etc.
> While it may not be possible to eliminate some of these, we should atleast
> have a self-contains jar that contains all these to be able to make it work.
> * the underlying script used to run beeline should use JAVA as an alternate
> means to execute if HADOOP_HOME is not set
