Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-13589:
---------------------------------------
Should the description of the -p option be updated in the wiki to say that it
can be specified without an argument in 2.2.0 and later versions?
* [HiveServer2 Clients -- Beeline Command Options |
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/HiveServer2+Clients#HiveServer2Clients-BeelineCommandOptions]
> beeline support prompt for password with '-p' option

> Specifying connection string using commandline options in beeline is
> convenient, as it gets saved in shell command history, and it is easy to
> retrieve it from there.
> However, specifying the password in command prompt is not secure as it gets
> displayed on screen and saved in the history.
> It should be possible to specify '-p' without an argument to make beeline
> prompt for password.
