Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-13589:
--------------------------------------------
Thanks [~Ke Jia] for the patch. Couple of comments below:
1. I think there is a method called
{noformat}
public ConsoleReader getConsoleReader(InputStream inputStream) throws
IOException
{noformat}
in BeeLine.java. I would suggest using this method to initialize the console
reader in the begin method before beeline initializes using the args.
{noformat}
try {
if (isBeeLine) {
int code = initArgs(args);
if (code != 0) {
return code;
}
...
{noformat}
2. Will this work if if the password is really an empty string (non-null but
empty)?
> 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.
