That is not an accurate statement. Beeline is a JDBC client as compared to Hive CLI which is a thrift client to talk to HIveServer2. So it would need the password to establish that JDBC connection. If you look at the beeline console code[1], it actually first tries to read the "javax.jdo.option.ConnectionUserName" and "javax.jdo.option.ConnectionPassword" property which is the same username and password that you have setup your backing metastore DB with. If it is MySWL, it would be the password you set MySQL with or empty if you haven't(or are using derby). Kerberos is merely a tool for you to authenticate yourself so that you cannot impersonate yourself as someone else.
