Summary: Beeline commands which contains semi-colon as a non-command terminator will fail Key: HIVE-10659 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10659 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan Assignee: Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan Consider beeline for connecting to mysql and creating commands involving stored procedures. MySQL stored procedures have semi-colon as the statement terminator. Since this coincides with beeline's only available command terminator , semi-colon, beeline will not able to execute the original command successfully. The above scenario can happen when Hive SchemaTool is used to upgrade a mysql metastore db which contains stored procedure in the script(as the one introduced initially by HIVE-7018). As of now, we cannot have any stored procedures as part of MySQL scripts because schemaTool uses beeline as the jdbc client to connect to MySQL. This is a serious limitation and needs to be fixed by providing an option to beeline to not use ";" as the command delimiter and process the entire line send to it as a single command. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
