avatar

Hi All,

In beeline hql file shell commands why source filename not working and cat filename works with no issues

!sh cat filename --working

!sh source filename -- giving error

Exception raised from Shell command java.lang.Exception: Failed to execute source filename

 

Any help would be great

Hi @sundar_gampa,

 

Not sure, why the source command is not working.

But, rather than running the shell command from beeline, you can create a shell script which has beeline command after you have sourced the required file.

Yes that is the approach we are following. Just wondering is there any list of commands that works in HQL -shell.

Tried for document on the same but with no luck.
