[jira] [Updated] (HIVE-13091) Beeline logs the username and password to the history file for connect commands

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13091?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Ravi Prakash updated HIVE-13091:
--------------------------------
    Attachment: HIVE-13901.01.patch

Here's a patch which redacts the password AFTER it has been put in the history. I think this is the wrong approach though. We really should never be accepting the password on the command line. For instance if I forgot the {{!}} before the command, the password would still be logged in the history file. I don't know how big a change that would be though....

> [~farisa] and [~tthompso] found that the beeline client also logs the username and password from a connect command into the beeline history file (Usually found at ~/.beeline/history). We should not be logging the password anywhere.
