Ke Jia commented on HIVE-13589:
-------------------------------
Hi [~vihangk1], Thanks for your comments. About this issue, I have some ideas
and now am working on the patch. May I continue my work for this JIRA? The main
idea is that we can add the "-- force" or some other "--" options in
Beeline.java, which are defined in
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveServer2+Clients#HiveServer2Clients-BeelineCommands.
You can share your thoughts once my patch is ready. Thanks again for your
reviews and inputs.

> 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.
