password with '-u' option
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13589?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15253231#comment-15253231 ]
Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-13589:
--------------------------------------
A workaround of using a wrapper shell script by [~nsabharwal] is mentioned here - https://community.hortonworks.com/questions/3147/beeline-sample-with-u-f-n-p.html
> beeline - support prompt for password with '-u' option

> Key: HIVE-13589
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13589
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Beeline
> Reporter: Thejas M Nair
>
> 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.
