Storing hive query output in a shell script variable

Question

When i try to execute the below 2 queries via shell script, I'm unable to echo the output:

Querys:

close_val=`hive -e "select count(1) from tst_db.dim_calendar where calendar_id =20171102"`
close_val=$(hive -S -e "USE cars_dev; select count(1) from dim_calendar where calendar_id =20171103")

echo $close_val

Error:

I'm not sure of what you're expecting to do with the close_val value but in your situation you seem to expect a number however it seems there's an issue in hive and you get a stacktrace instead. The trace received is not a simple string but is viewed as several parameters to your echo which exceed the number it handles.

using a command like:

$ # Notice the cut at the end of the command
$ close_val=$(hive -S -e "USE cars_dev; select count(1) from dim_calendar where calendar_id =20171103" | cut -f 1)

will insure that your echo command will work, but here your real issue is your hive command which is failing
