Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-7390:
-----------------------------------
If we are talking about CSV/TSV, then these options should not be universal.
Nevertheless, I'd like to understand what quotes are specified by CSV/TSV
standard and whether Beeline is conforming to that standard. If we are
proposing new kind of output format, the right way seems to be providing
alternatives to !outputformat command, parallel to CSV/TSV.
> Make quote character optional and configurable in BeeLine CSV/TSV output

> Currently when either the CSV or TSV output formats are used in beeline each
> column is wrapped in single quotes. Quote wrapping of columns should be
> optional and the user should be able to choose the character used to wrap the
> columns.
