---------------------------------
Summary: Beeline should provide a way to execute shell command as
Hive CLI does
Key: HIVE-6694
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6694
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: CLI, Clients
Affects Versions: 0.12.0, 0.11.0
Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
Assignee: Xuefu Zhang
Hive CLI allows a user to execute a shell command using ! notation. For
instance, !cat myfile.txt. Being able to execute shell command may be important
for some users. As a replacement, however, Beeline provides no such capability,
possibly because ! notation is reserved for SQLLine commands. It's possible to
provide this using a slightly syntactic variation such as !sh cat myfilie.txt.
