Cheat Code
Windows -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editor -> Insert spaces for tabs
Your welcome!
I’ve been pulling my hair lately because when I try to get view definitions of our hive views, the definition is screwed. Some part of the view definition are truncated.
Apparently if you have more than 1 level indent in your view definition when you try to get reverse engine it via “describe extended mydb.my_table” the engine can’t pull definition properly.
I tried is many tools, DBeaver, Beeline, Ambari Hive View, all failed to fetch the definition.
In my case I need to access Hive metadata on Azure SQL to get the full text.
Lesson learned, change your tabs into spaces, please….
