---------------------------------------
Summary: remove feature: describe pretty
Key: HIVE-17540
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-17540
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Wish
Reporter: Zoltan Haindrich
I've bumped into "describe pretty" feature...which was probably a usefull thing
when it was introduced....but I haven't seen it documented anywhere ... first 5
google results were didn't seem related.
there are qtest about it:
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/test/queries/clientpositive/describe_pretty.q
https://github.com/apache/hive/blob/master/ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/describe_pretty.q.out
this feature makes it possible to render column comments more nicely...
I think beeline is already able to address formatting issues like this at a
much wider scale; so it might be ok to remove the 'describe pretty' support...
