----------------------------------
Re property-file good to know. Would be great to document that on the wiki, as
it was not mentioned.
> beeline to auto connect to the HiveServer2
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HIVE-14063
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14063
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Beeline
> Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar
> Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar
> Priority: Minor
>
> Currently one has to give an jdbc:hive2 url in order for Beeline to connect a
> hiveserver2 instance. It would be great if Beeline can get the info somehow
> (from a properties file at a well-known location?) and connect automatically
> if user doesn't specify such a url. If the properties file is not present,
> then beeline would expect user to provide the url and credentials using
> !connect or ./beeline -u .. commands
> While Beeline is flexible (being a mere JDBC client), most environments would
> have just a single HS2. Having users to manually connect into this via either
> "beeline ~/.propsfile" or -u or !connect statements is lowering the
> experience part.
