Andrew Sherman updated HIVE-18367:
----------------------------------
    Attachment: HIVE-18367.3.patch

Some test changes because the 'describe extended' output now always comes
on one line. This seems better. Anyone who needs to parse the output
(for example to get view text) can use 'describe formatted'

> 'Describe Extended' dumps information about a table. The protocol for sending 
> this data relies on tabs and newlines to separate pieces of data. If a table 
> has 'FIELDS terminated by XXX' or 'LINES terminated by XXX' where XXX is a 
> tab or newline then the output seen by the user is prematurely truncated. Fix 
> this by replacing tabs and newlines in the table description with “\n” and 
> “\t”.
