[jira] [Comment Edited] (HIVE-13589) beeline - support prompt for
password with '-u' option
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13589?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15434353#comment-15434353 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------
[~vihangk1], I take a look at the BeeLine code. Now "- p" has been associated with a password. If we make it optional, it will parse the string next to "- p" to see whether it exists a password. In this way, it's possible to treat "--XXXX" as a password since -XXXX doesn't exist in Beeline options. One way I can think of is that we could add a new option which has no password. And prompt user to enter the password. Any thoughputs?

> Specifying connection string using commandline options in beeline is convenient, as it gets saved in shell command history, and it is easy to retrieve it from there.
> However, specifying the password in command prompt is not secure as it gets displayed on screen and saved in the history.
> It should be possible to specify '-p' without an argument to make beeline prompt for password.
