--------------------------------

    Attachment: HIVE-4545-1.patch

HIVE-4545-1.patch - introduces hive.human.friendly.format  config. By default set to true. It is set off by hive-server2 .
When set to off,  in 'describe table' and 'show columns' it turns off space padding.

> HIVE-3140 changed behavior of 'DESCRIBE table;' to be like 'DESCRIBE FORMATTED table;'. HIVE-3140 introduced changes to not print header in 'DESCRIBE table;'. But jdbc/odbc calls still get fields padded with space for the 'DESCRIBE table;' query.
> As the jdbc/odbc results are not for direct human consumption the space padding should not be done for hive server2.
