首先查看一个sql

1、首先存在一个数据表tmp

CREATE  TABLE tmp(  platform string,   channel string,   chan_value string,   uid string,   host int,   logtime string,   bd_source string,   action string,   refer string,   back_url string,   browser string,   mobile string,   server_ip string,   ip string,   url string,   post string,   handle_time string,   logday string)

2、查看这个表的数据

hive> select * from tmp limit 2;OKadr    partner    touch.qunar.com    -    4    00:00:05    -    SgTrainStation    http://touch.qunar.com/baiduTrain.jsp?bd_source=alading_webapp        android    mozilla/5.0 (linux; android 4.4.2; hw-huawei p7-l09 build/huaweip7-l09) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) version/4.0 mobile safari/537.36    192.168.24.222    119.0.34.213    /SgTrainStation?keyword=上&_=1416153604205    -    1    20141117adr    partner    touch.qunar.com    -    0    00:00:05    -    SgTrainStation    http://touch.qunar.com/baiduTrain.jsp?bd_source=alading_webapp        android    mozilla/5.0 (linux; android 4.4.2; hw-huawei p7-l09 build/huaweip7-l09) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) version/4.0 mobile safari/537.36    192.168.24.222    119.0.34.213    /SgTrainStation?keyword=上&_=1416153604205    -    1    20141117Time taken: 2.549 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s)

这个数据十分不可读，那么就希望能格式化这些数据

3、set hive.cli.print.header=true; // 打印列名

hive> select * from tmp limit 2;     OKplatform    channel    chan_value    uid    host    logtime    bd_source    action    refer    back_url    browser    mobile    server_ip    ip    url    post    handle_time    logdayadr    partner    touch.qunar.com    -    4    00:00:05    -    SgTrainStation    http://touch.qunar.com/baiduTrain.jsp?bd_source=alading_webapp        android    mozilla/5.0 (linux; android 4.4.2; hw-huawei p7-l09 build/huaweip7-l09) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) version/4.0 mobile safari/537.36    192.168.24.222    119.0.34.213    /SgTrainStation?keyword=上&_=1416153604205    -    1    20141117adr    partner    touch.qunar.com    -    0    00:00:05    -    SgTrainStation    http://touch.qunar.com/baiduTrain.jsp?bd_source=alading_webapp        android    mozilla/5.0 (linux; android 4.4.2; hw-huawei p7-l09 build/huaweip7-l09) applewebkit/537.36 (khtml, like gecko) version/4.0 mobile safari/537.36    192.168.24.222    119.0.34.213    /SgTrainStation?keyword=上&_=1416153604205    -    1    20141117Time taken: 0.218 seconds, Fetched: 2 row(s)

上面增加了列名

4、set hive.cli.print.row.to.vertical=true; // 开启行转列功能, 前提必须开启打印列名功能

5、set hive.cli.print.row.to.vertical.num=1; // 设置每行显示的列数

------------------这两步暂时没有生效，是xml文件设置的问题---------
