--------------------------------------------
@carl HIVE-558 formatted the describe output through 'describe formatted ..'. Is the intention of this JIRA different?

Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-2285:
--------------------------------------
Formatted output should be the default behavior of DESCRIBE TABLE EXTENDED, but due to backwards compatibility issues DESCRIBE FORMATTED was introduced instead. In this ticket I'm proposing that we introduce a configuration variable hive.formatted.describe.extended, which when set to true will cause the output of DESCRIBE EXTENDED to be formatted.
