Attila Turoczy updated HIVE-29664:
----------------------------------
Description:
Beeline is the classic CLI SQL client for Hive. Currently, the query editor is
plain text only and does not provide any syntax highlighting for Hive SQL. This
makes it harder for users to read queries, identify keywords, and quickly
notice mistyped SQL statements.
To improve usability, Beeline should support basic Hive SQL syntax
highlighting. The implementation can start with a static list of commonly used
Hive SQL keywords, such as {*}SELECT{*}, {*}INSERT{*}, {*}JOIN{*}, {*}WHERE{*},
*GROUP BY, ORDER BY, CREATE, DROP, ALTER,* and others.
The syntax highlighting should be enabled by default to provide a better user
experience out of the box. However, users should also have a configuration
option or command-line flag to disable it when needed, for example in
environments where plain text output is preferred or required.
