Release Note:Added an --password-file (or, -w) option to BeeLine CLI, to read a password from a permission-protected file instead of supplying it in plaintext form as part of the command (-p).
For people connecting to Hive Server 2 with LDAP authentication enabled, in order to batch run commands, we currently have to provide the password openly in the command line. They could use some expect scripting, but I think a valid improvement would be to provide a password file option similar to other CLI commands in hadoop (e.g. sqoop) to be more secure.
