-------------------------------------
Summary: Beeline as Standalone executable
Key: HIVE-29666
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-29666
Project: Hive
Issue Type: New Feature
Reporter: Attila Turoczy
Beeline is currently distributed as part of the Hive binary/package and
requires a Java runtime environment on the user machine. This creates
additional setup complexity for users who only want to use Beeline as a
lightweight SQL CLI client.
We should investigate whether it is possible to provide Beeline as a standalone
executable or installable package that does not require a separately installed
JRE on the user machine. I read and article about jpackage. Maybe with that it
would have a possibility to have a separate one.
Possible problems maybe the build system for windows and mac. That maybe need a
separate machine. Also the size of the package maybe big as there are
dependencies for hive-exec,hadoop-hdfs etc,
