Vihang Karajgaonkar commented on HIVE-14063: -------------------------------------------- Thanks [~ngangam] for your suggestions. I agree that the file location should be user specific which would enable multiple users to have different connection information. I will incorporate that into the change. Also, I like the file name default-hs2-connection.properties. Thanks! > beeline to auto connect to the HiveServer2 > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-14063 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14063 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Beeline > Reporter: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Assignee: Vihang Karajgaonkar > Priority: Minor > Attachments: beeline.conf.template > > > Currently one has to give an jdbc:hive2 url in order for Beeline to connect a > hiveserver2 instance. It would be great if Beeline can get the info somehow > (from a properties file at a well-known location?) and connect automatically > if user doesn't specify such a url. If the properties file is not present, > then beeline would expect user to provide the url and credentials using > !connect or ./beeline -u .. commands > While Beeline is flexible (being a mere JDBC client), most environments would > have just a single HS2. Having users to manually connect into this via either > "beeline ~/.propsfile" or -u or !connect statements is lowering the > experience part. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
