Paul Yang updated HIVE-1920:
----------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-1920.1.nocomment.patch
One possible way to address this is to add a nocomment option to describe that
prevents printing of comments:
{code}
hive> describe formatted nocomment <tablename>;
hive> describe nocomment <tablename>;
{code}
> DESCRIBE with comments is difficult to read
> -------------------------------------------

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1920
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CLI
> Affects Versions: 0.7.0
> Reporter: Paul Yang
> Assignee: Paul Yang
> Attachments: HIVE-1920.1.nocomment.patch
>
>
> When DESCRIBE is run, comments for columns are displayed next to the column
> type. A problem with this is that if the comment contains line breaks, it is
> difficult to differentiate the columns from the comments and is difficult to
> read.
