Inconsistent reporting of "null" and delimiter across access types
------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-621
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-621
Project: Hadoop Hive
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Adam Kramer
If you INSERT OVERWRITE LOCAL DIRECTORY, you get a bunch of \N fields in your
output...If you hive -e "SELECT ..." you get a bunch of "null" fields in your
output. I also recall having seen NULL (in caps) before somewhere, too, but
maybe I'm dreaming that.
In any case, it would be nice if this were consistent! Preference: \N
everywhere.
Ditto, when you I O L D, your fields are ^A-delimited, but when you SELECT,
they're ^V (tab)-delimited. It would be nice if this, too, were consistent.
Preference: tabs everywhere.
