Description

Right now the Hive CLI prompt just says "hive>", for users (primarily power users) who run in different clusters it can be easy to forget which cluster your Hive CLI is pointing to. If we change the Hive CLI prompt to be something like "hive(silver)>" it would be much clearer. We could potentially extend this to namespaces as well.
