Description

Beeline and Cli have to escape ; in the quote while most other shell scripts need not. For example:
in Beeline:

0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> select ';' from tlb1;
select ';' from tlb1;
15/12/10 10:45:26 DEBUG TSaslTransport: writing data length: 115
15/12/10 10:45:26 DEBUG TSaslTransport: CLIENT: reading data length: 3403
Error: Error while compiling statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:8 cannot recognize input near '<EOF>' '<EOF>

while in mysql shell:

mysql> SELECT CONCAT(';', 'foo') FROM test limit 3;
+--------------------+
| ;foo               |
| ;foo               |
| ;foo               |
+--------------------+
