Note that the Spark SQL CLI cannot talk to the Thrift JDBC server. + +To start the Spark SQL CLI, run the following in the Spark directory: + + ./bin/spark-sql + +Configuration of Hive is done by placing your `hive-site.xml`, `core-site.xml` and `hdfs-site.xml` files in `conf/`. + +## Spark SQL Command Line Options + +You may run `./bin/spark-sql --help` for a complete list of all available options. + + CLI options: + -d,--define <key=value> Variable substitution to apply to Hive + commands. e.g. -d A=B or --define A=B + --database <databasename> Specify the database to use + -e <quoted-query-string> SQL from command line + -f <filename> SQL from files + -H,--help Print help information + --hiveconf <property=value> Use value for given property + --hivevar <key=value> Variable substitution to apply to Hive + commands. e.g. --hivevar A=B + -i <filename> Initialization SQL file + -S,--silent Silent mode in interactive shell + -v,--verbose Verbose mode (echo executed SQL to the + console) + +## The hiverc File + +When invoked without the `-i`, the Spark SQL CLI will attempt to load `$HIVE_HOME/bin/.hiverc` and `$HOME/.hiverc` as initialization files. + +## Supported comment types + +<table class="table"> +<tr><th>Comment</th><th>Example</th></tr> +<tr> + <td>simple comment</td> + <td> + <code> + -- This is a simple comment. + <br> + SELECT 1; + </code> + </td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>bracketed comment</td> + <td> + <code> + /* This is a bracketed comment. */ + <br> + SELECT 1; + </code> + </td> +</tr> +<tr> + <td>nested bracketed comment</td> + <td> + <code> + /* This is a /* nested bracketed comment*/ .*/ + <br> + SELECT 1; + </code> + </td> +</tr> +</table> + +## Spark SQL CLI Interactive Shell Commands + +When `./bin/spark-sql` is run without either the `-e` or `-f` option, it enters interactive shell mode. +Use `;` (semicolon) to terminate commands. Notice: +1. The CLI use `;` to terminate commands only when it's at the end of line, and it's not escaped by `\\;`. +2. `;` is the only way to terminate commands. If the user types `SELECT 1` and presses enter, the console will just wait for input. +3. If the user types multiple commands in one line like `SELECT 1; SELECT 2;`, the commands `SELECT 1` and `SELECT 2` will be executed separatly. +4. If `;` appears in a simple comment, as in: Review comment: We don't need to mention `-- This is a comment;`, The `;` at the end means to terminate, which means we submit the query `-- This is comment` and does nothing. The same to `/* This is a comment contains ;`, we submit `/* This is a comment contains` and fails the parser. The thing we need to mention additionally is what `;` means in the middle. e.g. `SELECT a = ';' FROM t;`, `-- comment;comment;` -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
