Commands are non-SQL statement statements such as setting a property or adding a resource. They can be used in HiveQL scripts or directly in the CLI or Beeline.
Command | Description |
---|---|
quit | Use quit or exit to leave the interactive shell. |
reset | Resets the configuration to the default values (as of Hive 0.10: see HIVE-3202). Any configuration parameters that were set using the set command or -hiveconf parameter in hive commandline will get reset to default value. Note that this does not apply to configuration parameters that were set in set command using the "hiveconf:" prefix for the key name (for historic reasons). |
set <key>=<value> | Sets the value of a particular configuration variable (key). |
set | Prints a list of configuration variables that are overridden by the user or Hive. |
set -v | Prints all Hadoop and Hive configuration variables. |
