Hudson commented on HIVE-4568: ------------------------------ SUCCESS: Integrated in Hive-trunk-h0.21 #2347 (See [https://builds.apache.org/job/Hive-trunk-h0.21/2347/]) HIVE-4568 - Beeline needs to support resolving variables (Xuefu Zhang reviewed by Thejas M Nair) (brock: http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN&view=rev&rev=1525046) * /hive/trunk/beeline/src/java/org/apache/hive/beeline/BeeLine.java * /hive/trunk/beeline/src/java/org/apache/hive/beeline/BeeLine.properties * /hive/trunk/beeline/src/java/org/apache/hive/beeline/BeeLineOpts.java * /hive/trunk/beeline/src/java/org/apache/hive/beeline/DatabaseConnection.java * /hive/trunk/beeline/src/test/org/apache/hive/beeline/src/test/TestBeeLineWithArgs.java > Beeline needs to support resolving variables > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-4568 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4568 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 0.10.0 > Reporter: Xuefu Zhang > Assignee: Xuefu Zhang > Fix For: 0.13.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-4568-1.patch, HIVE-4568-2.patch, HIVE-4568.3.patch, > HIVE-4568.4.patch, HIVE-4568.5.patch, HIVE-4568.6.patch, HIVE-4568.7.patch, > HIVE-4568.8.patch, HIVE-4568.patch > > > Previous Hive CLI allows user to specify hive variables at the command line > using option "--hivevar". In user's script, reference to a hive variable will > be substituted with the value of the variable. In such way, user can > parameterize his/her script and invoke the script with different hive > variable values. The following script is one usage: > {code} > hive --hivevar > INPUT=/user/jenkins/oozie.1371538916178/examples/input-data/table > --hivevar > OUTPUT=/user/jenkins/oozie.1371538916178/examples/output-data/hive > -f script.q > {code} > script.q makes use of hive variables: > {code} > CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE test (a INT) STORED AS TEXTFILE LOCATION '${INPUT}'; > INSERT OVERWRITE DIRECTORY '${OUTPUT}' SELECT * FROM test; > {code} > However, after upgrade to hiveserver2 and beeline, this functionality is > missing. Beeline doesn't take --hivevar option, and any hive variable isn't > passed to server so it cannot be used for substitution. > This JIRA is to address this issue, providing a backward compatible behavior > at Beeline. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
