hive -e執行出現「cannot recognize input near ' ' in select clause」問題

問題現象

寫了一個簡單的shell腳本調用hive執行組裝的sql，在執行時老是報cannot recognize input near '<EOF>' in select clause錯誤， 單獨在hive提示符下卻能正常執行。

#!/bin/bash
keyname="type"
sql=" 
select tags['$keyname'] from user_tags
"

echo ${sql}

hive -e ${sql}

執行時打印的錯誤日誌：

select tags['$keyname'] from user_tags

解決方案

修改hive -e ${sql}爲hive -e "${sql}"

緣由分析

若沒有使用雙引號進行包括，則"hive -e"會認爲後面的sql內容解析爲多個參數形成錯誤。而使用雙引號後，整個sql將做爲一個單獨的參數傳給hive。
