Comments in hive scripts

Hi,
I am using hive version 0.7 and I am having an odd issue with comments

The following works
<snip>
use default;
-- this is good
-- select blah from blahness
...
</snip>

However,
<snip>
use default;
-- this is good
-- select * from blahness;
...
</snip>
doesn't work, is this because hive is parsing ';' before removing
comments? or am I missing something?

Thanks,
--

Comments in scripts are a bit wonky.  In 8, HIVE-2259
(http://bit.ly/rg1WVk) has improved the handling of comments.  That
patch should fix the issue you're having.
