Description

There is a backward incompatible change that's gone into beeline somehow. Previously, you could connect using the connection string:

!connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000 <username> <password> org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver; 

which isn't the case now:

Beeline version 0.13.0 by Apache Hive
beeline>  !connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000 vgumashta vgumashta org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver; 
Connecting to jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000
org/apache/hive/jdbc/HiveDriver;
0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> show tables;
org/apache/hive/jdbc/HiveDriver;
No current connection

However, removing either username or password, lets you log in:

Beeline version 0.13.0 by Apache Hive
beeline>  !connect jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000 vgumashta  org.apache.hive.jdbc.HiveDriver;          
scan complete in 3ms
Connecting to jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000
Connected to: Apache Hive (version 0.13.0)
Driver: Hive JDBC (version 0.13.0)
Transaction isolation: TRANSACTION_REPEATABLE_READ
0: jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000> show tables;
