Thejas M Nair commented on HIVE-6928:
-------------------------------------
I have a few concerns about this patch.
This will change the output format on the fly. It is possible that for a query
that was returning results in table format would suddenly change to vertical
format when some records in the input changes. This sort of surprise is not
good. I agree that truncating columns is also not good.
I think we should instead improve the table format to wrap around the lines
instead of truncating them. Or look at how other databases command lines tend
to format their results.
There is also a change proposed in HIVE-7224 that changes default to
incremental output to avoid OOM. This patch will result in disabling table
format output with that option.
> Beeline should not chop off "describe extended" results by default

> By default, beeline truncates long results based on the console width like:
> {code}
> +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
> | col_name |
> |
> +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
> | pat_id | string
> |
> | score | float
> |
> | acutes | float
> |
> | |
> |
> | Detailed Table Information | Table(tableName:refills, dbName:default,
> owner:hdadmin, createTime:1393882396, lastAccessTime:0, retention:0, sd:Sto |
> +-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
> 5 rows selected (0.4 seconds)
> {code}
> This can be changed by !outputformat, but the default should behave better to
> give a better experience to the first-time beeline user.
