Ke Jia commented on HIVE-13589:
-------------------------------
Hi [~thejas], current patch works with the case specifying '- p' without an
argument to make beeline prompt for password. However it only support the
case with "- p" following by the specified option which are added in the
Beeline.java [L290-L391]. If not, Apache common CLI will consider the option as
the value of "- p". We can limit user to put the "- p" by the end of command
line. Do you have better suggestions?
> beeline - support prompt for password with '-u' option

>
> Specifying connection string using commandline options in beeline is
> convenient, as it gets saved in shell command history, and it is easy to
> retrieve it from there.
> However, specifying the password in command prompt is not secure as it gets
> displayed on screen and saved in the history.
> It should be possible to specify '-p' without an argument to make beeline
> prompt for password.
