Beeline does not accept comments that are preceded by spaces

Beeline throws an error if single-line comments are indented with spaces. This works in the embedded Hive CLI.

For example:

SELECT
– this is the field we want
field
FROM
table;

Error: Error while processing statement: FAILED: ParseException line 1:71 cannot recognize input near '<EOF>' '<EOF>' '<EOF>' in select clause (state=42000,code=40000)
