Edward Capriolo commented on HIVE-4545:
---------------------------------------
It's ok. It seems a bit clunky to have:
HIVE_HUMAN_FRIENDLY_FORMAT("hive.human.friendly.format", true),
Maybe we simply need -describe terse- or something.
> HS2 should return describe table results without space padding

> HIVE-3140 changed behavior of 'DESCRIBE table;' to be like 'DESCRIBE
> FORMATTED table;'. HIVE-3140 introduced changes to not print header in
> 'DESCRIBE table;'. But jdbc/odbc calls still get fields padded with space for
> the 'DESCRIBE table;' query.
> As the jdbc/odbc results are not for direct human consumption the space
> padding should not be done for hive server2.
