Peter Vary commented on HIVE-14146:
-----------------------------------
Solution depends on the HIVE-14013 patch, since I think it would be a good
idea, to have the unicode parameters displayed correctly as well
> Column comments with "\n" character "corrupts" table metadata

> Create a table with the following(noting the \n in the COMMENT):
> {noformat}
> CREATE TABLE commtest(first_nm string COMMENT 'Indicates First name\nof an
> individual’);
> {noformat}
> Describe shows that now the metadata is messed up:
> {noformat}
