-------------------------------------
Summary: JDBC driver and beeline should support executing an
initial SQL script
Key: HIVE-5867
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5867
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Clients, JDBC
Reporter: Prasad Mujumdar
HiveCLI support the .hiverc script that is executed at the start of the
session. This is helpful for things like registering UDFs, session specific
configs etc.
This functionality is missing for beeline and JDBC clients. It would be useful
for JDBC driver to support an init script with SQL statements that's
automatically executed after connection. The script path can be specified via
JDBC connection URL. For example
{noformat}
jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default;initScript=/home/user1/scripts/init.sql
{noformat}
This can be added to Beeline's command line option like "-i
/home/user1/scripts/init.sql"
To help transition from HiveCLI to Beeline, we can keep the default init script
as $HOME/.hiverc
