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

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

> 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.
