The attached screenshot shows > the following two problems: > 1. Rows with long column names do not align well with other columns. > 2. Rows with long comments wrap to the next line, and make it hard to read > the output. The wrapping behavior depends on the width of the user's > terminal width. > It will be nice to have a DESCRIBE PRETTY table_name command that will > produce nicely formatted output that avoids the two problems mentioned above. > It is better to introduce a new DESCRIBE PRETTY command rather than change > the behavior of the existing DESCRIBE or DESCRIBE FORMATTED commands, so that > we avoid breaking any scripts that automatically parse the output. > Since the pretty formatting depends on the current terminal width, we need a > new hive conf parameter to tell the CLI to auto-detect the current terminal > width or to use a fixed width (needed for unit tests). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
