Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-18963:
--------------------------------------------
{quote}I think we should have a way to specify the final jdbc url (including
not just the host:port, but other connection/session/conf params). That would
be a nice usability add on - what do you think?
{quote}
It does support connection params in the url using the xml file. Check
[this|https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/beeline/src/test/org/apache/hive/beeline/hs2connection/TestUserHS2ConnectionFileParser.java#L101]
test case for example. This test also has other examples of urls which can be
supported using the xml file. Is this not want you are looking for here?
{quote}We should also have a way to specify urls (let's call it named urls) for
different HS2 services. For example, let's say there are 2 different versions
of the service running on the cluster, the user can connect to a specific
instance like this: {{beeline -c namedUrl}}. We can keep a default url as well
which gets picked if no namedUrl switch is provided on command line.
{quote}
This would be a good improvement. I myself had this at the back of my mind but
I never got around working on it. I think it would be a good addition.

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Beeline
> Reporter: Vaibhav Gumashta
> Assignee: Vaibhav Gumashta
> Priority: Major
>
> Currently, after opening Beeline CLI, the user needs to supply a connection
> string to use the HS2 instance and set up the jdbc driver. Since we plan to
> replace Hive CLI with Beeline in future (HIVE-10511), it will help the
> usability if the user can simply type {{beeline}} and get start the hive
> session. The jdbc url can be specified in a beeline-site.xml (which can
> contain other named jdbc urls as well, and they can be accessed by something
> like: {{beeline -c namedUrl}}. The use of beeline-site.xml can also be
> potentially expanded later if needed.
