Description

"beeline --help" displays the help message and returns to beeline prompt. The common pattern is to return to the unix prompt. The intention of any command help is to relaunch the same command with correct parameters.
One such output is :

$ beeline --help
Usage: java org.apache.hive.cli.beeline.BeeLine
-u <database url> the JDBC URL to connect to
-n <username> the username to connect as
-p <password> the password to connect as
.....

Beeline version .. by Apache Hive
beeline>

The expected return prompt should be "$" (the unix prompt).
