Andrew Sherman commented on HIVE-20167:
---------------------------------------
OK it is a bit more complex. This code in a .q file does fail:
{{select 'hello'; -- testing hive's stomach for apostrophes}}
{{;}}
but this is partly an artifact of QTestUtil (i.e. test infrastructure).
I can run that same code from a hue client and it works.
The different clients (BeeLine, Hive cli, qtests) do some work to split
commands up before executing them and this is super-annoying and complex code.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-20167
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI
> Affects Versions: 2.3.2
> Environment: Observed on an AWS EMR cluster.
> Hive cli, executing script from bash with "hive -f ..." (not interactive).
>
> Reporter: Trey Fore
> Priority: Minor
>
> This line causes a ParseException:
> {{ , member_id string -- standardizing from client's
> memberID}}
> When the apostrophe is removed, leaving:
> {{ , member_id string -- standardizing from clients
> memberID}}
> the line is parsed correctly.
