There is an update https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Analytics/Systems/Cluster/Hive/Queries&diff=1804753&oldid=1804337 about this:
"...hive is officially deprecated in favor of beeline, but as of October 2018, the Analytics team does not recommend migrating to it. The hive client still has significantly better error reporting and a few other advantages."

Thanks for making it easier to use Beeline and for setting up the documentation! Curious and excited about stat1004 ;)

Hi all,
For all Hive users using stat1002/1004, you might have seen a deprecation warning when you launch the hive client - that claims it's being replaced with Beeline. The Beeline shell has always been available to use, but it required supplying a database connection string every time, which was
pretty
annoying. We now have a wrapper script setup to make this easier. The old Hive CLI will continue to exist, but we encourage moving over to Beeline. You can use it by logging into the stat1002/1004 boxes as usual, and launching `beeline`.
There is some documentation on this here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/Cluster/Beeline.
If you run into any issues using this interface, please ping us on the Analytics list or #wikimedia-analytics or file a bug on Phabricator.
(If you are wondering stat1004 whaaat - there should be an announcement coming up about it soon!)
Best,
