Description

Since HIVE-19385 it's possible to redirect bin/hive to beeline. This is not working as expected though, because in bin/hive we're setting hive.aux.jars.path. This leads to the following error:

$ USE_BEELINE_FOR_HIVE_CLI=true hive

...
Error: Could not open client transport for any of the Server URI's in ZooKeeper: Failed to open new session: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot modify hive.aux.jars.path at runtime. It is not in list of params that are allowed to be modified at runtime (state=08S01,code=0)
Beeline version 3.0.0 by Apache Hive
beeline> 

We already avoid setting hive.aux.jars.path when running beeline service but the USE_BEELINE_FOR_HIVE_CLI override happens after that.

I'd suggest checking the value of USE_BEELINE_FOR_HIVE_CLI right after we've selected the service to run (cli/beeline/...) and override cli->beeline there.
