Passing parameters to HIVE query - hive

Question

I am passing parameter to HIVE script like this using --hiveconf parameter to pass one value to HIVE query. Is there any other way to pass parameters to HIVE script?
beeline -u "${dbconection}" --hiveconf load_id=${loadid} -f /etc/sql/hive_script.sql
hive_script.sql is doing selecting records from table-a and inserting in table-b.
INSERT into TABLE table-b
SELECT column1,
Column2,
Column3,
${hiveconf:loadid} as load_id,
Column5
From table-a;
I am getting following error message
Error: Failed to open new session: org.apache.hive.service.cli.HiveSQLException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot modify load_id at runtime. It is not in list of params that are allowed to be modified at runtime
Here is what setup for hive variable substitute in my environment.
set hive.variable.substitute;
+--------------------------------+--+
| set |
+--------------------------------+--+
| hive.variable.substitute=true |

Answer 1

If you are using beeline , you need to use --hivevar
beeline -u "${dbconection}" --hivevar load_id=${loadid} -f /etc/sql/hive_script.sql
.sql or .hql extension will not make a difference.
And hive query will use variable in following way :
INSERT into TABLE table-b
SELECT column1,
Column2,
Column3,
${loadid} as load_id,
Column5
From table-a;

Answer 2

Here is what I used and it work for me instead of "--hiveconf" use "--hivevar" this will work for HIVE version v0.8.X and above .
loaded='201810251040'
beeline -u "${dbconection}" --hivevar load_id=${loadid} -f /etc/sql/hive_script.sql
Update hive_script.sql as follows
INSERT into TABLE table-b
SELECT column1,
Column2,
Column3,
${hivevar:load_id} as load_id,
Column5
From table-a;
This is pseudo code ....
