When set to false, the entire result set is fetched and buffered before being displayed, yielding optimal display column sizing. When set to true, result rows are displayed immediately as they are fetched, yielding lower latency and memory usage at the price of extra display column padding. Setting --incremental=true is recommended if you encounter an OutOfMemory on the client side (due to the fetched result set size being large). Only applicable if --outputformat=table. --incrementalBufferRows=NUMROWS the number of rows to buffer when printing rows on stdout, defaults to 1000; only applicable if --incremental=true and --outputformat=table --truncateTable=[true/false] truncate table column when it exceeds length --delimiterForDSV=DELIMITER specify the delimiter for delimiter-separated values output format (default: |) --isolation=LEVEL set the transaction isolation level --nullemptystring=[true/false] set to true to get historic behavior of printing null as empty string --maxHistoryRows=MAXHISTORYROWS The maximum number of rows to store beeline history. --delimiter=DELIMITER set the query delimiter; multi-char delimiters are allowed, but quotation marks, slashes, and -- are not allowed; defaults to ; --convertBinaryArrayToString=[true/false] display binary column data as string or as byte array --getUrlsFromBeelineSite Print all urls from beeline-site.xml, if it is present in the classpath --help display this message Example: 1.

Use the below Query to fetch the table location from HMS .   select "DBS"."NAME" as DB_NAME, "TBLS"."TBL_NAME", "SDS"."LOCATION" from "DBS" join "TBLS" on "DBS"."DB_ID" = "TBLS"."DB_ID" AND "TBLS"."TBL_TYPE" != 'VIRTUAL_VIEW' join "SDS" on "TBLS"."SD_ID" = "SDS"."SD_ID";     To query the same from hive, Would recommend to use JDBC Storage Handler.  In CDP by default in sysdb this tables has been created. you can use the same.  Query  select dbs.name as db_name , tbls.tbl_name , sds.location from dbs join tbls on dbs.db_id = tbls.db_id and tbls.tbl_type != 'VIRTUAL_VIEW' join sds on tbls.sd_id = sds.sd_id; ...
