LazySimpleSerDe: last column takes rest

Hi,

What does setting the "serialization.last.column.takes.rest" SERDEPROPERTIES do for the LazySimpleSerDe?
 http://hive.apache.org/docs/r0.6.0/api/org/apache/hadoop/hive/serde2/lazy/LazySimpleSerDe.SerDeParameters.html#isLastColumnTakesRest()

I came across that in considering a blob table (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-637).

Thanks,
Aurora

The setting is used to know whether the last column of the struct should take the rest of the row if there are extra fields.
