Unable to exit Hive

Here we can exit from hive shell by the following 3 commands

1.hive>exit; 2.hive>quit; As we all know that we can connect to hiveserver2 from beeline,jdbc-odbc,trift api.So when you are using beeline shell then the first two commands will not work so its better to use the following command to exit from beeline.

!exit

no semicolon should be used

I guess you must have forgotten to write semi-colon at the end of quit.

Use quit or exit to leave the interactive shell as shown below. Notice semi-colon (i.e. ; )

hive> quit;

OR

hive> exit;

You should also be about to use ctrl+c to exit

This is the right way to quit or exit from hive session.

hive> quit;

or

hive> exit;

Not the ;
