How to use scriptVariables in hive (AWS Data Pipeline)

Question

We can pass script variables into AWS data pipeline hiveactivity using the following construct :

"scriptVariable" : [
    "param1=value1",
    "param2=value2"
  ]

How do we access these variables in the hive script? I have been trying to use them in a select statement without any success :

Select ${hiveconf:param1}, dummytable.col1,...
from dummytable where dummytable.id = 1;

My knowledge of hive is limited. Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

just write ${param1}.

You can test it by starting hive with -d.

hive -d param1=2014-06-20

select * from something where dt='${param1}';
