Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-6694:
-----------------------------------
[~brocknoland] Just make sure that I understand correctly. Did you mean I need
to check if e.getLocalizedMessage() is null? Would you like to see something
like the following:
{code}
String msg = e.getLocalizedMessage();
if (msg == null)
msg = "unknown cause"
beeLine.error("Failed to execute Shell command: " + msg);
{code}
> Beeline should provide a way to execute shell command as Hive CLI does

> 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.
