Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6173:
--------------------------------------
Doc: Strictly speaking, the TODOC13 label should be removed because --hiveconf
has been documented. The release note should also be revised.
But TODOC13 is still here for some followup issues which really belong in a
separate jira. Maybe we can wrap them up here, though.

Hive doesn't support transaction or rollback concept. (It always auto-commit
upon success.) As to this prop, it doesn't really matter as far as Hive is
concerned. (Beeline is able to connect to other databases, in which case this
may makes a difference.)
{quote}
Now that Hive has transactions, is Beeline's autoCommit useful? If not, should
it be removed from the wiki or explained away?

could you check what SQLLine doc says?
{quote}
The SQLLine doc doesn't cover numberFormat. Does it use the default for Java's
DecimalFormat class? (See links below.)

> 7. Should any of these options be documented? <see list below>
SQLLine has a lot of properties, a little overwhelming. I'd think we should
probably document only that's closely tied with Hive and refer user to SQLLine
doc for others.

Reply A: Then maybe some options should be removed from the wiki. At present
only one option (historyfile) is in the SQLLine doc but not in the Beeline doc.
Rather than direct readers to SQLLine for a single option, I'm inclined to add
historyfile to the wiki.
Reply B: The options listed in point 7 aren't covered by the SQLLine doc.
They're in the code in BeeLineOpts but not in BeeLine.properties:
showElapsedTime, maxHeight, timeout, trimScripts, allowMultiLineCommand. (Are
they internal only?)
