Is there a way to make a multi line comment in hive scripts

hive

Solution

As per my knowledge, multi-line comments are not supported in Hive scripts as of now. Seems like this JIRA introduced only single line comments, starting with -- in Hive 0.8

Problem

I know that we can make a single line comment with '--' in hiveQL(hive.sql scripts) but is there a way to make multi line comments? I need something like below ``` /* This sentence is a comment */ ```
