Description
Hello all,
As of today, when you want to know the file format of every table, you have, as far I know, two solutions :
-a loop in shell
-a loop in the tool you use for HQL queries, and then parse the answer, etc..
I think this is way too complicated for such a very basic need. So a table_file_format (or partition_file_format, I don't know) in the information_schema would be a very precious help for monitoring. It can be directly read by a reporting tool (Superset, Tableau, PowerBi, Qlik, whatever you want).
Best regards,
Simon
