> It is, in many cases, quite useful to write a query, save it in a file, and "run" the file with hive \-f filename. However, as time passes and many such files are written, it becomes unclear why I did things the way I did--the solution for most code is to comment the code, and I would love to be able to comment hive code in .sql/.hql files or queries.
> Standard SQL comment structure is anything following a non-escaped non-quoted "-- " or "#" on a single line should cause the rest of the line to be ignored. I would love to have this in hive...both in the CLI (for when I paste a query in) and in the hive -f file reader option. C-style // and /* */ commenting would be great too, but only because I'm lazy.
