--------------------------------------
Summary: Make SQL client column max column widh configurable (was: Make
SQL column max column widh configurable)
> Make SQL client column max column widh configurable
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-22940
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-22940
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Table SQL / Client
> Affects Versions: 1.13.0
> Reporter: Svend Vanderveken
> Priority: Minor
>
> When displaying results interactively with the Flink SQL client, each column
> is currently truncated based on its content type, up to a maximum of 30
> characters, which is controlled by the java constant [1].
> In case some result to be displayed is too wide, a ~ is appended a the end
> to indicate the truncation (actually happening in practice at position 25),
> as visible below:
>
>
> {code:java}
> SELECT
> metadata.true_as_of_timestamp_millis,
> member_user_id
> FROM some_table
>
> true_as_of_timestamp_mil~ member_user_id

> {code}
>
> I suggest to make this max width configurable, by adding a parameter that can
> be `SET` to [2].
>
> I also suggest to make the default width wide enough s.t. 36 usable
> characters can be displayed, since UUID (which are 36 character longs when
> represented in text) are very
> commonly used as identifiers, and therefore as column values.
> This seems like a easy code update, if it's useful I'm happy to work on the
> implementation.
