Zhenxiao Luo commented on HIVE-1977:
------------------------------------
@Namit: Thanks for your comments. I updated the patch, did the following:
1. Instead of adding a new conf, try database.table first, if not valid(via
tableValidCheck and databaseValidCheck), try table.column.
2. get rid of isStandardSyntax, re-work the code

> The syntax for DESCRIBE is broken. It should be:
> {code}
> DESCRIBE [EXTENDED] [database DOT]table [column]
> {code}
> but is actually

> DESCRIBE [EXTENDED] table[DOT col_name]
> {code}
