---------------------------------
Hi, I guess we will continue the discussion here from HIVE-7390. First, thanks
for incorporating my feedback from that partial patch.
So I read this patch, and it has one option:
{noformat} 'outputAsCLICSVFormat=[true/false] display the output in the csv
format as Hive command line\n \ {noformat}
The only difference is quote, right? If my understanding is right, can't we
have a new output format called 'quotedCSV', and change the default csv format
to be unquoted, as was discussed earlier on this JIRA by Jim Halfpenny. (He
mentioned single-quote is not standard). Some disadvantages of
'outputAsCliCSVFormat' option is that its name is not very descriptive for
users, and as Xuefu mentioned it is universal option even though it should only
apply to CSV. What do you think?
> Make quote character optional and configurable in BeeLine CSV/TSV output

> Currently when either the CSV or TSV output formats are used in beeline each
> column is wrapped in single quotes. Quote wrapping of columns should be
