John Sichi commented on HIVE-1040:
----------------------------------
It's kind of bad that we have binary data in .q.out files...HIVE-2482 would be
the correct way to fix that (using a UDF to display as hex).
> use sed rather than diff for masking out noise in diff-based tests

> The current diff -I approach has two problems: (1) it does not allow
> resolution finer than line-level, so it's impossible to mask out pattern
> occurrences within a line, and (2) it produces unmasked files, so if you run
> diff on the command line to compare the result .q.out with the checked-in
> file, you see the noise.
> My suggestion is to first run sed to replace noise patterns with an
> unlikely-to-occur string like ZYZZYZVA, and then diff the pre-masked files
> without using any -I.
> This would require a one-time hit to update all existing .q.out files so that
> they would contain the pre-masked results.
