Abdullah Yousufi commented on HIVE-13964: ----------------------------------------- With regards to case #3, you need pass in your login credentials as well. For example: {code} ConnectionURL=jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000 ConnectionUserName=hive ConnectionPassword=<password> {code} With case #1, the property-file requires a url because that is how the !properties command works: if you run beeline and execute {code} !properties <file> {code} you’ll see the ‘Property “url” is required error. Therefore, I don’t know if it really makes sense to combine command line options, such as -u, with the property file, as you do in case #2. What happens there is that the shell initially connects to the url specified by -u, but when the properties command is run on props, it fails and the shell exits. > Add a parameter to beeline to allow a properties file to be passed in > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-13964 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-13964 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: Beeline > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Reporter: Abdullah Yousufi > Assignee: Abdullah Yousufi > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.2.0 > > Attachments: HIVE-13964.01.patch, HIVE-13964.02.patch, > HIVE-13964.03.patch > > > HIVE-6652 removed the ability to pass in a properties file as a beeline > parameter.
