Description

The Beeline command (!cmd) containing semicolon is broken.
For example:
!connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10001/default;principal=hive/[e-mail]
is broken because the included ";" makes it not to run with execCommandWithPrefix as a whole command.

      if (line.startsWith(COMMAND_PREFIX) && !line.contains(";")) {
        // handle the case "!cmd" for beeline
        return execCommandWithPrefix(line);
      } else {
        return commands.sql(line, getOpts().getEntireLineAsCommand());
      }
