-------------------------------------
Test failures look unrelated, [~thejas] and [~spena] can you review?
> Honor --incremental flag only if TableOutputFormat is used

>
> * When Beeline prints out a {{ResultSet}} to stdout it uses the
> {{BeeLine.print}} method
> * This method takes the {{ResultSet}} from the completed query and uses a
> specified {{OutputFormat}} to print the rows (by default it uses
> {{TableOutputFormat}})
> * The {{print}} method also wraps the {{ResultSet}} into a {{Rows}} class
> (either a {{IncrementalRows}} or a {{BufferedRows}} class)
> The advantage of {{BufferedRows}} is that it can do a global calculation of
> the column width, however, this is only useful for {{TableOutputFormat}}. So
> there is no need to buffer all the rows if a different {{OutputFormat}} is
> used. This JIRA will change the behavior of the {{--incremental}} flag so
> that it is only honored if {{TableOutputFormat}} is used.
