Thiruvel Thirumoolan commented on HIVE-1658: -------------------------------------------- Patch under works. Changes: 1. 'describe' & 'describe extended' outputs will be the same as pre HIVE-558. 2. 'describe formatted' will use the new format for displaying columns and additional information. Will implement the changes similar to how extended is implemented, using a boolean in DescTableDesc to denote the formatted keyword and formatting the output in DDLTask.describeTable. > Fix describe [extended] column formatting > ----------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-1658 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1658 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Paul Yang > Assignee: Thiruvel Thirumoolan > > When displaying the column schema, the formatting should follow should be > name<TAB>type<TAB>comment<NEWLINE> > to be inline with the previous formatting style for backward compatibility. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
