             Summary: Column comments with "\n" character "corrupts" table metadata
                 Key: HIVE-14146
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-14146
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Beeline
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Peter Vary
            Assignee: Peter Vary


Create a table with the following(noting the \n in the COMMENT):
{noformat}
CREATE TABLE commtest(first_nm string COMMENT 'Indicates First name\nof an individual’);
{noformat}

Describe shows that now the metadata is messed up:
{noformat}
beeline> describe commtest;
+-------------------+------------+-----------------------+--+
|     col_name      | data_type  |        comment        |
+-------------------+------------+-----------------------+--+
| first_nm             | string       | Indicates First name  |
| of an individual  | NULL       | NULL                  |
