--hivevar name=value | Hive variable name and value. This is a Hive-specific setting in which variables can be set at the session level and referenced in Hive commands or queries. Usage: beeline --hivevar var1=value1 |
--color=[true/false] | Control whether color is used for display. Default is false. Usage: beeline --color=true (Not supported for Separated-Value Output formats. See HIVE-9770) |
--showHeader=[true/false] | Show column names in query results (true) or not (false). Default is true. Usage: beeline --showHeader=false |
--headerInterval=ROWS | The interval for redisplaying column headers, in number of rows, when outputformat is table. Default is 100. Usage: beeline --headerInterval=50 (Not supported for Separated-Value Output formats. See HIVE-9770) |
--fastConnect=[true/false] | When connecting, skip building a list of all tables and columns for tab-completion of HiveQL statements (true) or build the list (false). Default is true. Usage: beeline --fastConnect=false |
--autoCommit=[true/false] | Enable/disable automatic transaction commit. Default is false. Usage: beeline --autoCommit=true |
--verbose=[true/false] | Show verbose error messages and debug information (true) or do not show (false). Default is false. Usage: beeline --verbose=true |
--showWarnings=[true/false] | Display warnings that are reported on the connection after issuing any HiveQL commands. Default is false. Usage: beeline --showWarnings=true |
--showNestedErrs=[true/false] | Display nested errors. Default is false. Usage: beeline --showNestedErrs=true |
--numberFormat=[pattern] | Format numbers using a DecimalFormat pattern. Usage: beeline --numberFormat="#,###,##0.00" |
--force=[true/false] | Continue running script even after errors (true) or do not continue (false). Default is false. Usage: beeline--force=true |
--maxWidth=MAXWIDTH | The maximum width to display before truncating data, in characters, when outputformat is table. Default is to query the terminal for current width, then fall back to 80. Usage: beeline --maxWidth=150 |
--maxColumnWidth=MAXCOLWIDTH | The maximum column width, in characters, when outputformat is table. Default is 15. Usage: beeline --maxColumnWidth=25 |
--silent=[true/false] | Reduce the amount of informational messages displayed (true) or not (false). It also stops displaying the log messages for the query from HiveServer2 (Hive 0.14 and later) and the HiveQL commands (Hive 1.2.0 and later). Default is false. Usage: beeline --silent=true |
--autosave=[true/false] | Automatically save preferences (true) or do not autosave (false). Default is false. Usage: beeline --autosave=true |
--outputformat=[table/vertical/csv/tsv/dsv/csv2/tsv2] | Format mode for result display. Default is table. See Separated-Value Output Formats below for description of recommended sv options. Usage: beeline --outputformat=tsv Version: dsv/csv2/tsv2 added in 0.14.0 (HIVE-8615) |
--truncateTable=[true/false] | If true, truncates table column in the console when it exceeds console length. Version: 0.14.0 (HIVE-6928) |
--delimiterForDSV= DELIMITER | The delimiter for delimiter-separated values output format. Default is '|' character. Version: 0.14.0 (HIVE-7390) |
--isolation=LEVEL | Set the transaction isolation level to TRANSACTION_READ_COMMITTED Usage: beeline --isolation=TRANSACTION_SERIALIZABLE |
--nullemptystring=[true/false] | Use historic behavior of printing null as empty string (true) or use current behavior of printing null as NULL (false). Default is false. Usage: beeline --nullemptystring=false Version: 0.13.0 (HIVE-4485) |
--incremental=[true/false] | Defaults to false. When set to false, the entire result set is fetched and buffered before being displayed, yielding optimal display column sizing. When set to true, result rows are displayed immediately as they are fetched, yielding lower latency and memory usage at the price of extra display column padding. Setting --incremental=true is recommended if you encounter an OutOfMemory on the client side (due to the fetched result set size being large). |
--help | Display a usage message. Usage: beeline --help |
