Let me know if I did it right. Here are the steps I did 1. `mvn test -Dtest=TestCliDriver -Dqfile=describe_table.q -Dtest.output.overwrite=true` 2. It actually made a new output file and was in `ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/` 3. I saw `describe_table.q.out` in the OSS is actually in a different path `ql/src/test/results/clientpositive/llap`. What I did was to move the new output file to the correct location and that's how I got the final diff. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.

In > the UI, there is no way to change the settings (to use "describe table"), > thus impairing the user experience. Prior to the feature where partition > stats was gathered, the experience with using the UI had no problems. > This will allow users to selectively change the describe formatted/extended > table behavior at any time. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
