Prasanth Jayachandran commented on HIVE-9310:
---------------------------------------------
[~gopalv] Yes. The history dir is the user's home directory which exists. The
history file .hivehistory also exists (will be created if it doesn't exist).
But still the commands are not logged to the hive history file.
To reproduce
1) Remove the .hivehistory file
2) Restart hive cli
3) Run some commands and quit cli
4) When we rerun the hive cli again, press up arrow nothing will show up from
history.
I suspect, the flushing doesn't happen because of quit command which issues
System.exit(0) and quits the cli without ever calling the history.flush(). Same
happens with SIGINT as well. I think we need to flush the history before
processing every command. Adding the history flushing just before executing the
command seems to fix the issue. I can put up a patch for it if you can confirm
that the current way of flushing does not work.
> CLI JLine does not flush history back to ~/.hivehistory

> Hive CLI does not seem to be saving history anymore.
> In JLine with the PersistentHistory class, to keep history across sessions,
> you need to do {{reader.getHistory().flush()}}.
