Description

The output of this command "describe extended" is missing the tableType: property for some tables. it is being truncated after "serialization.format= , field.delim="

The output for: describe extended hivesampletable is:
"Detailed Table Information Table(tableName:hivesampletable, dbName:default, owner:hdpinternaluser, createTime:1440859101, lastAccessTime:0, retention:0, sd:StorageDescriptor(cols:[FieldSchema(name:clientid, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:querytime, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:market, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:deviceplatform, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:devicemake, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:devicemodel, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:state, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:country, type:string, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:querydwelltime, type:double, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:sessionid, type:bigint, comment:null), FieldSchema(name:sessionpagevieworder, type:bigint, comment:null)], location:wasb://[e-mail]/hive/warehouse/hivesampletable, inputFormat:org.apache.hadoop.mapred.TextInputFormat, outputFormat:org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.io.HiveIgnoreKeyTextOutputFormat, compressed:false, numBuckets:-1, serdeInfo:SerDeInfo(name:null, serializationLib:org.apache.hadoop.hive.serde2.lazy.LazySimpleSerDe, parameters:{serialization.format= , field.delim="

while the output for describe formatted hivesampletable is:
