@Hive_SQL The solution here is to create a hive table of New Format (|).   Next Select/Insert Old Format(/t) into New Format.

 

For example: select * from old_format INSERT INTO new_format

It will create a new table but the requirement is to show the results of SQL in tab delimited. If we create a now table as \t delimited and then again select * from that new format table , wouldn't it will show with default "|" delimited.
