Beeline，它其实是HiveServer2的JDBC客户端，基于SQLLine命令行接口。Beeline Shell可以工作在嵌入式模式和远程模式，在嵌入式模式中，它运行一个嵌入式的Hive（类似于Hive CLI），在远程模式中，通过Thrift连接到一个单独的HiveServer2进程，从Hive 0.14开始，当Beeline和HiveServer2一起使用时，它会从HiveServer2打印执行查询的日志信息到STDERR。建议在生产环境使用远程HiveServer2模式，因为这样更安全，不需要为用户授予直接的HDFS/Metastore访问权限。

一 Hive环境

hive> select version();
OK
2.3.3 r8a511e3f79b43d4be41cd231cf5c99e43b248383
Time taken: 11.166 seconds, Fetched: 1 row(s)

二 运行Beeline

Hive的运行依赖于Hadoop，所以首先启动Hadoop，而Beeline的运行必须首先启动HiveServer2，下面将分别介绍：

1 启动HDFS

[hadoop@strong ~]$ start-all.sh
注：该脚本将会被弃用，建议使用start-dfs.sh and start-yarn.sh启动HADOOP。

2 启动HiveServer2

1）方法一

[hadoop@strong ~]$ hiveserver2

2）方法二

[hadoop@strong ~]$ hive --service hiveserver2

3 启动Beeline

1）方法一

[hadoop@strong ~]$ beeline

2）方法二

[hadoop@strong ~]$ hive --service beeline
beeline> !connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default
Connecting to jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default
Enter username for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default: hadoop
Enter password for jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default: ******
Connected to: Apache Hive (version 2.3.3)
Driver: Hive JDBC (version 2.3.3)
Transaction isolation: TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ
0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/default>

注：进行连接出现如下错误时，需要对/usr/local/hadoop/etc/hadoop/core-site.xml进行配置

apache.hadoop.security.authorize.AuthorizationException): User: hadoop is not allowed to impersonate root (state=08S01,code=0)

增加配置内容为：

<property>

<name>hadoop.proxyuser.hadoop.hosts</name>

<value>*</value>

</property>

<property>

<name>hadoop.proxyuser.hadoop.groups</name>

<value>*</value>

</property>

三 Beeline介绍

1 Beeline示例

[hadoop@strong ~]$ beeline

0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/hive>

注：也可以通过如下方式进行连接和访问。

[hadoop@strong ~]$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000/hive -n hadoop -p hadoop

当使用Hive JDBC驱动时，可以在Beeline运行Hive特定的命令（和Hive CLI命令一样）。
