hive: Run HiveQL.
$ hive -e "${hiveql_query}"
try on your machine

The command hive -e "${hiveql_query}" is used to execute a HiveQL query using the Hive CLI (Command Line Interface).

Let's break down the command:

  • hive is the command to run the Hive CLI.
  • -e is a flag that specifies the option to execute a single HiveQL query.
  • ${hiveql_query} is a variable that holds the HiveQL query to be executed. The $ symbol indicates a variable in bash or shell scripts.

By using this command, you can pass a HiveQL query as a string to the ${hiveql_query} variable, and the query will be executed in Hive. This allows you to run HiveQL queries without the need for an interactive Hive shell.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
