Naveen Gangam commented on HIVE-24348: -------------------------------------- Fix has been committed to master. Thanks for the additional work [~achennagiri] in getting this in. [~belugabehr] Abhay has tested the dfs functionality with the standalone Beeline distribution. It has been found to be working fine. If there other dependencies that are missing, I think it would work if we added a hive-env.sh script and setting some CLASSPATH variables in here. It might be a fair expectation for users to do so. Now that these dfs commands have been supported for a while now, it will be hard remove it and break backward-compatibility (not sure what the original intent was to include this functionality). > Beeline: Isolating dependencies and execution with java > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-24348 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24348 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Beeline > Affects Versions: 3.1.0 > Reporter: Naveen Gangam > Assignee: Abhay > Priority: Major > Labels: pull-request-available > Time Spent: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 0h > > Currently, beeline code, binaries and executables are somewhat tightly > coupled with the hive product. To be able to execute beeline from a node with > just JRE installed and some jars in classpath is impossible. > * beeline.sh/hive scripts rely on HADOOP_HOME to be set which are designed to > use "hadoop" executable to run beeline. > * Ideally, just the hive-beeline.jar and hive-jdbc-standalone jars should be > enough but sadly they arent. The latter jar adds more problems than it solves > because all the classfiles are shaded some dependencies cannot be resolved. > * Beeline has many other dependencies like hive-exec, hive-common. > hadoop-common, supercsv, jline, commons-cli, commons-io, commons-logging etc. > While it may not be possible to eliminate some of these, we should atleast > have a self-contains jar that contains all these to be able to make it work. > * the underlying script used to run beeline should use JAVA as an alternate > means to execute if HADOOP_HOME is not set -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
