                 Key: HIVE-2423
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2423
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: CLI
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0, 0.9.0
         Environment: all
            Reporter: Jake Peterson
             Fix For: 0.8.0, 0.9.0


The hive client desperately needs better table output.  I think having a query 
option to send output one column per line with the column name would 
desperately help looking at wide table data.  Here I'm thinking of the \G 
option from the MySQL client.

So essentially the command line would get a new query ending token '\G'

Which would change the output to:

************* Row: 1 *******************
  Column_A: Value 1
  Column_B: Value 2
 Column_CD: 34565434
************* Row: 2 *******************
....

Right aligning the column names, with a single space before starting the value 
of that column from the output table row.
