Description

It is very common to want to reuse the result of a Hive query in another action.
It will be useful if we can capture output of a Hive action the same way we do for shell actions - if the output is in the format of "key=value" use it for capture output.

Even more useful:

• Parse "key \t value" as "key=value" - this will allow capturing result of "describe table"
• Possibly capture all results as "Hive=<result>", up to maximum length. This will require user parsing but will give maximum flexibility.
