Beeline hivevar value with spaces and symbols

[#1]

I am trying to pass a WHERE condition as a variable to hive hql via BeeLine.

--hivevar somekey1='"someValue"'

works well

--hivevar somekey2='"colum1<=someValue"'

does not work which prints the Beeline usage. How can I escape equal to (=)?

Any help or pointers on how I can solve this issue?

You can normally escape things with a \ in front of it. Sometimes two backslash.

Using \ or \\ does't work. It gives the same error

I hope this may help

SELECT packets.sourceip FROM packets WHERE packets.destip = "${hivevar:DEST_IP}" AND packets.hour = ${hivevar:HOUR} GROUP BY packets.sourceip link

Ok just tried it out. Your problem is that you didn't use the double quotes on the outside. The linux command line needs double quotes to escape strings. You can use single quotes inside.

[root@sandbox ~]# more test.sql

select * from sample_07 where ${cond};

[root@sandbox ~]# beeline -u jdbc:hive2://sandbox:10000/default -f test.sql --hivevar cond="description='All Occupations'"

...

+-----------------+------------------------+----------------------+-------------------+--+

| sample_07.code | sample_07.description | sample_07.total_emp | sample_07.salary |

+-----------------+------------------------+----------------------+-------------------+--+

| 00-0000 | All Occupations | 134354250 | 40690 |

Hi all,

I am having the below senario, where the values in where clause is dynamic.

beeline -u jdbc:hive2://<#####>/;auth=noSasl --silent=true --hivevar where_condition=" where modifyts >= '2016-02-18 00:55:43.00' and modifyts < '2016-02-18 00:55:44.0'" --hiveconf hive.auto.convert.join=false --hiveconf hive.optimize.skewjoin=true --hivevar destination_hive_table_name=<table> -f insert_delta_data.hql
