Bug in beeline --outputformat=csv2?

[Roger Hayes <rh...@tripadvisor.com>]

Dear Hive folks--

Here's the output I get from beeline with the outputformat option. It doesn't look right to me -- the text values ought to be surrounded by a delimiter since the values contain ','. And it's not clear why the quote characters are escaped, since the values are not quoted.

Is this a legit bug?  If so, shall I file a JIRA, or will you do so & send me a link?

- Thanks,
 Roger Hayes
