Lars Francke commented on HIVE-7348:
------------------------------------
I won't argue much on this and leave the final decision up to you but here's my
opinion:
I think that splitting on semicolon as well as requiring an escaped semicolon
are bad ideas because both need special handling on the client side. I've
written quite a few bash jobs that are run as cron or manually and take some
input put it in a query and execute it. All these would now need to be changed
to special case the semicolon. The help on the other hand says {{query that
should be executed}} which is singular.
So what you're really trying to do is to add a new feature. What I've been
doing when I need multiple statements is just call beeline multiple times.
Maybe another feature to add instead is to support multiple "-e" parameters.
You could obviously use the HiveParser in beeline to parse the statement but
then we're tied to a specific Hive version again which we don't want either.
So while Ashish has already put work into this I'm afraid I'm in favor of
closing this issue as WONTFIX for the reasons mentioned.
