Beeline uses the hive-jdbc driver, which is the one actually handling network connections. That driver in turn, uses a standard org.apache.http.impl.client.HttpClients to talk to the servers. You can probably dig through the code usage and find out if it is allowing 302 or not (POST + 100 Continue is another question to answer by experimenting). https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/jdbc/src/java/org/apache/hive/jdbc/HiveConnection.java#L348 Cheers, Gopal
