Hi, I have following shell script: #!/bin/bash PNAME=20170320_203225 TNAME=tablea1 /usr/bin/hive -hiveconf hive.cli.errors.ignore=true -hivevar PNAME=$PNAME -hivevar TNAME=$TNAME -v -f ./query.hql
Trying to pass PNAME hivevar to query.hql script: insert into table a1.${hivevar:TNAME}_orc PARTITION (part_col=${hivevar=PNAME}) select a1, a2, a3 from a1.${hivevar:TNAME} ; Substitution works fine in table name and from clause. However in (part_col=${hivevar=PNAME}) I get error cannot recognize input near '$' '{' 'hivevar' in constant. If I add quotes (part_col="${hivevar=PNAME}"), it works fine, but never expands variable, resulting having text "${hivevar=PNAME}") in my partition. How should I quote PNAME to avoid error and having my variable expanded? Can anyone help? Thank you!
