Add JSON output to the hive ddl commands ----------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2822 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2822 Project: Hive Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Chris Dean The goal is to have an option to produce JSON output of the DDL commands that is easily machine parseable. For example, "desc my_table" currently gives id bigint user string and we want to allow a json output: { "columns": [ {"name": "id", "type": "bigint"}, {"name": "user", "type": "string"} ] } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
