Beeline is an alternative to using the Hive CLI. While the Hive CLI connects directly to HDFS and the Hive Metastore, Beeline connects to HiveServer2. More information comparing the two can be found here.
To launch Hive using Beeline, run the command below. All Hive queries cane be run normally once connected to Beeline.
beeline -u 'jdbc:hive2://fladoop-nn02.arc-ts.umich.edu:2181,fladoop-nn01.arc-ts.umich.edu:2181,fladoop-rm01.arc-ts.umich.edu:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2' #Set your queue in the CLI set tez.queue.name=<your_queue>;
