How to use Beeline -u with zk?

[#1]

I am able to connect to hive via beeline by issuing

>beeline

and then

>!connect jdbc:hive2://zzz.com:2181,zzzz.com:2181,zzz.com:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2

However I would like to connect to hive in 1 shot using -u

>beeline -u jdbc:hive2://zzz.com:2181,zzzz.com:2181,zzz.com:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2

and it fails

@Sunile Manjee I am able to connect in one shot only after using the same host in the url from where I am running the beeline. e.g if I am running beeline from host z , I was able to connect using beeline -u jdbc:hive2://z:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2 I am thinking I might have to open the port 2181 explicitly for other host to access.

Its working for me , I did the following. 1. Opend the port 2181 2. Stop the local firewall on all nodes. (iptables).

HWX support found my issue. here is what I was doing wrong::: Forgot the double quotes around the jdbc driver

beeline -u "jdbc:hive2://example.com:2181,example.com:2181,example:2181/;serviceDiscoveryMode=zooKeeper;zooKeeperNamespace=hiveserver2" 

and now it works. cool. @milind pandit thank you for your help. I am sure port checking should be on the list of what to check. however, the issue where was missing double quotes.
