Julian Hyde updated HIVE-6361: ------------------------------ Status: Open (was: Patch Available) > Un-fork Sqlline > --------------- > > Key: HIVE-6361 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6361 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: CLI > Affects Versions: 0.12.0 > Reporter: Julian Hyde > Assignee: Julian Hyde > > I propose to merge the two development forks of sqlline: Hive's beeline > module, and the fork at https://github.com/julianhyde/sqlline. > How did the forks come about? Hive’s SQL command-line interface Beeline was > created by forking Sqlline (see HIVE-987, HIVE-3100), which at the time it > was a useful but low-activity project languishing on SourceForge without an > active owner. Around the same time, Julian Hyde independently started a > github repo based on the same code base. Now several projects are using > Julian Hyde's sqlline, including Apache Drill, Apache Phoenix, Cascading > Lingual and Optiq. > Merging these two forks will allow us to pool our resources. (Case in point: > Drill issue DRILL-327 had already been fixed in a later version of sqlline; > it still exists in beeline.) > I propose the following steps: > 1. Copy Julian Hyde's sqlline as a new Hive module, hive-sqlline. > 2. Port fixes to hive-beeline into hive-sqlline. > 3. Make hive-beeline depend on hive-sqlline, and remove code that is > identical. What remains in the hive-beeline module is Beeline.java (a derived > class of Sqlline.java) and Hive-specific extensions. > 4. Make the hive-sqlline the official successor to Julian Hyde's sqlline. > This achieves continuity for Hive’s users, gives the users of the non-Hive > sqlline a version with minimal dependencies, unifies the two code lines, and > brings everything under the Apache roof. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
