---------------------------------

             Summary: Beeline should provide a way to execute shell command as Hive CLI does
                 Key: HIVE-6694
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-6694
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: CLI, Clients
    Affects Versions: 0.12.0, 0.11.0
            Reporter: Xuefu Zhang
            Assignee: Xuefu Zhang


Hive CLI allows a user to execute a shell command using ! notation. For instance, !cat myfile.txt. Being able to execute shell command may be important for some users. As a replacement, however, Beeline provides no such capability, possibly because ! notation is reserved for SQLLine commands. It's possible to provide this using a slightly syntactic variation such as !sh cat myfilie.txt.
