benj created DRILL-6973:
---------------------------

             Summary: Improve --run  (ability to run query and get result in a good format from command line)
                 Key: DRILL-6973
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-6973
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Wish
    Affects Versions: 1.15.0
            Reporter: benj


For a more flexible and minimalist use of DRILL, it would be useful/practical to have more "options" on the --run part.
 * The formatting of the output : the vertical/csv/json/table/xml... are cool but not simple enough to be simply piped in a shell
 * The possibility to display only the last query in the output, or at least the possibility to not display the output of command like ALTER SESSION/SYSTEM... 
 * The formatting of the csv should allow NO QuoteCharacter (in --csvQuoteCharacter) and why not a possibility to allow QuoteCharacter in terms of the type or even of the data itself
{noformat}
Currently :
'1','foo','Drill,baby,drill'

Still currently (we can change the QuoteCharacter)
@1@,@foo@,@Drill,baby,drill@

NEW option 1 - With not quote
1,foo,Drill,baby,drill => Ok the third field is problematic here a problem but it's the responsibility of the user and he can use this option when it's appropriate

NEW option 2 - function of the type 
1,'foo','Drill,baby,drill'

NEW option 3 - function of the data
1,foo,'Drill,baby,drill' => (foo doesn't need quote because it does not contain a separator or endofline, but the third field contain separator)
{noformat}

 * Maybe some other ideas could be taken up from tools like psql

Few improvements of the --run would allow more practical use case in a simple way
