Answer 1

Output format in CSV:

$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://192.168.0.41:10000/test_db -n user1 -p password **--outputformat=csv2** -e "select * from t1";

Output format in custom delimiter:

$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://192.168.0.41:10000/test_db -n user1 -p password **--outputformat=dsv** **--delimiterForDSV='|'** -e "select * from t1";

Running command in background and redirect out to file:

$nohup `$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://192.168.0.41:10000/test_db -n user1 -p password --outputformat=csv2 -e "select * from t1"; > output.csv 2> log` &
