### Describe the bug On the `datafusion-cli`, `tree` was made the default explain format in [this PR](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/pull/15427). Now, when we use `EXPLAIN VERBOSE`, we simply get the regular output of `explain format tree`, which isn't verbose. Since only `indent` is supported for `explain verbose`, I think it would be nice to just override the explain format to `indent` when verbose is specified. ### To Reproduce cd `datafusion-cli` `cargo run` ```sql > explain verbose select max(1 + 3); +---------------+-------------------------------+ | plan_type | plan | +---------------+-------------------------------+ | physical_plan | ┌───────────────────────────┐ | | | │ AggregateExec │ | | | │ -------------------- │ | | | │ aggr: │ | | | │ max(Int64(1) + Int64(3)) │ | | | │ │ | | | │ mode: Single │ | | | └─────────────┬─────────────┘ | | | ┌─────────────┴─────────────┐ | | | │ PlaceholderRowExec │ | | | └───────────────────────────┘ | | | | +---------------+-------------------------------+ ``` To workaround this, the user has to manually set the format option to `indent` to get the desired verbose explain output ```sql set datafusion.explain.format = 'indent'; > explain verbose select max(1 + 3); ``` ### Expected behavior _No response_ ### Additional context _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
