Thejas M Nair updated HIVE-4191:
--------------------------------
Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
review board link for HIVE-4191.2.patch - https://reviews.apache.org/r/10340/.
Note that this also changes the behavior of 'show columns' command, back it its
behavior before HIVE-3140. The pre HIVE-3140 behavior seems to be the real
desired behavior based on HIVE-2909 (see
ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/show_columns.q.out for the change in
behavior).
> describe table output always prints as if formatted keyword is specified

> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI, HiveServer2

>
> With the change in HIVE-3140, describe table output prints like the format
> expected from "describe *formatted* table". ie, the headers are included and
> there is padding with space for the fields.
> This is a non backward compatible change, we should discuss if this change in
> the formatting of output should remain.
> This has impact on hiveserver2, it has been relying on the old format, and
> with this change it prints additional headers and fields with space padding.
