Xiu (Joe) Guo commented on SPARK-12262:
---------------------------------------

The property {code}spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet{code} promotes 
parquet tables with built-in access instead of going through Hive metastore 
route. I am thinking maybe the `describe extended` behavior here is intended?

A workaround (or intended usage) would be:
{code}
set spark.sql.hive.convertMetastoreParquet=false;
{code}
before describing a parquet table.

> describe extended doesn't return table on detail info tabled stored as 
> PARQUET format
