Could not find any related JIRA other than source code (HiveConf.java). -- $ cat test_error.q drop table does_not_exist; create table incomplete_syntax(a, string, ); create table invites(foo int, bar string); $ hive -hiveconf hive.cli.errors.ignore=true -f test_error.q OK Time taken: 0.573 seconds FAILED: Parse Error: line 2:32 cannot recognize input ',' in column type OK Time taken: 3.143 seconds --- Would u like anything else to be covered as part of this JIRA? > option of continue on error > --------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1847 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1847 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Namit Jain > > In "hive -f <script>", if any sql/command fails in that script than hive > exists with exit status -1, without continuing the remaining hive commands. > Sometimes it is better to continue the script even during errors. > For example, if a hive sql script contains many drop table commands, the > command would exit when it could not find a table.
