I've noticed a few JIRA items for new features that are supposed to work in v0.10.0, but don't appear to actually work:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3066 - Add the option -database DATABASE in hive cli to specify a default database to use for the cli session. The option is not recognized. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3621 - Make prompt in Hive CLI configurable Setting the hive.cli.prompt configuration property doesn't do anything. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-887 - Allow SELECT <col> without a mapreduce job All queries I've tried use MR. Did I misread the JIRA items? dean -- *Dean Wampler, Ph.D.* thinkbiganalytics.com +1-312-339-1330
