Naresh P R created HIVE-24282:
---------------------------------
Summary: Show columns shouldn't sort table output columns unless
explicitly mentioned.
Key: HIVE-24282
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-24282
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Naresh P R
Assignee: Naresh P R
CREATE TABLE foo_n7(c INT, b INT, a INT);
show columns in foo_n7;
{code:java}
// current output
a
b
c
// expected
c
b
a
{code}
HIVE-18373 changed the original behaviour to sorted output.
Suggesting to provide an optional keyword sorted to sort the show columns output
eg.,
{code:java}
show sorted columns in foo_n7;
a
b
c
show columns in foo_n7
c
b
a
{code}
