LazySimpleSerDe: last column takes rest

[Aurora Skarra-Gallagher]

Hi,

What does setting the "serialization.last.column.takes.rest" SERDEPROPERTIES do 
for the LazySimpleSerDe?
 
http://hive.apache.org/docs/r0.6.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/hive/serde2/lazy/LazySimpleSerDe.SerDeParameters.html#isLastColumnTakesRest()

I came across that in considering a blob table 
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-637).

Thanks,
Aurora
