Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2285:
--------------------------------------
Formatted output should be the default behavior of DESCRIBE TABLE EXTENDED, but
due to backwards compatibility issues DESCRIBE FORMATTED was introduced
instead. In this ticket I'm proposing that we introduce a configuration
variable hive.formatted.describe.extended, which when set to true will cause
the output of DESCRIBE EXTENDED to be formatted.
