[jira] Commented: (HIVE-987) Hive CLI Omnibus Improvement ticket

["John Sichi (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-987?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12859100#action_12859100 ] 

John Sichi commented on HIVE-987:
---------------------------------

To give sqlline a try, do the following:

1) Apply patch HIVE-987.1.patch
2) Download the attached sqlline-1.0.8_eb.jar and put it in your cli/lib directory
3) ant package
4) in one shell, run build/dist/bin/hive --service hiveserver (to start the Hive Thrift service)
5) build/dist/bin/hive --service beeline (to start a sqlline client talking to the localhost Thrift service)
6) Ignore the "Error: Method not supported (state=,code=0)" messages when they appear

Command completion requires HIVE-1126 to be applied too.

> Add the following features to the Hive CLI:
> * Command History
> * ReadLine support
> ** HIVE-120: Add readline support/support for alt-based commands in the CLI
> ** Java-ReadLine is LGPL, but it depends on GPL readline library. We probably need to use JLine instead.
> * Tab completion
> ** HIVE-97: tab completion for hive cli
> * Embedded/Standalone CLI modes, and ability to connect to different Hive Server instances.
> ** HIVE-818: Create a Hive CLI that connects to hive ThriftServer
> * .hiverc configuration file
> ** HIVE-920: .hiverc doesnt work
> * Improved support for comments.
> ** HIVE-430: Ability to comment desired for hive query files
> * Different output formats
> ** HIVE-49: display column header on CLI
> ** XML output format
> For additional inspiration we may want to look at the Postgres psql shell: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/app-psql.html
> Finally, it would be really cool if we implemented this in a generic fashion and spun it off as an apache-commons
> shell framework. It seems like most of the Apache Hadoop projects have their own shells, and I'm sure the same is true
> for non-Hadoop Apache projects as well.
