comment at the head of beeline -e

$ beeline -u jdbc:hive2://localhost:10000 -n test -e "
> --asdfasdfasdfasdf
> select * from test_table;
> "

expected result of the above command should be all rows of test_table(same as run in beeline interactive mode),but it does not output anything.

the cause is that -e option will read commands as one string, and in method dispatch(String line) it calls function isComment(String line) in the first, which using
'lineTrimmed.startsWith("#") || lineTrimmed.startsWith("--")'
to regard commands as a comment.

two ways can be considered to fix this problem:
1. in method initArgs(String[] args), split command by '\n' into command list before dispatch when cl.getOptionValues('e') != null
2. in method dispatch(String line), remove comments using this:
static String removeComments(String line) {
if (line == null || line.isEmpty())

{ return line; }

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
int escape = -1;
for (int index = 0; index < line.length(); index++) {

if (index < line.length() - 1 && line.charAt(index) == line.charAt(index + 1)) {
if (escape == 1 && line.charAt(index) == '') {
//find \n as the end of comment
index = line.indexOf('\n',index+1);

//there is no sql after this comment,so just break out
if (-1==index)

{ break; }

}
}

char letter = line.charAt(index);
if (letter == escape)

{ escape = -1; // Turn escape off. }

else if (escape == -1 && (letter == '\'' || letter == '"'))

{ escape = letter; // Turn escape on. }

builder.append(letter);
}
return builder.toString();
}

the second way can be a general solution to remove all comments start with '--' in a sql
