How can I find which Hive version I am using from the command prompt. Below is the details-
I am using Putty to connect to hive table and access records in the tables. So what I did is- I opened Putty and in the host name I typed- leo-ingesting.vip.name.com
and then I click Open
. And then I entered my username and password and then few commands to get to Hive sql. Below is the list what I did
$ bash
bash-3.00$ hive
Hive history file=/tmp/rkost/hive_job_log_rkost_201207010451_1212680168.txt
hive> set mapred.job.queue.name=hdmi-technology;
hive> select * from table LIMIT 1;
So is there any way from the command prompt I can find which hive version I am using and Hadoop version too?
$ hive --version
Hive version 0.8.1.3
EDIT: added another '-' before the version. Doesn't work for newer versions. Hope it works for all now.
Known to work in the following distributions:
$ hive --version Hive 0.14.0.2.2.0.0-2041
It does not work:
