Lefty Leverenz commented on HIVE-6044:
--------------------------------------
We need another sample output in the Get Table wikidoc similar to the current
output for format=extended.
* [Get
Table|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+GetTable]
* [JSON Output
(extended)|https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/WebHCat+Reference+GetTable#WebHCatReferenceGetTable-JSONOutput(extended)]
If someone supplies it here, I'll add it with a release 0.13 note.
_Aside:_ the patch has a javadoc typo in line 33 that probably won't confuse
anyone:
{{+ * Return a json "show table extended like" with extra info from "desc
exteded"}}
> webhcat should be able to return detailed serde information when show table
> using "fromat=extended"

>
> Now in webhcat, when using GET ddl/database/:db/table/:table and
> "format=extended", return value is based on query "show table extended like".
> However, this query doesn't contains serde info like "line.delim" and
> "filed.delim". In this case, user won't have enough information to
> reconstruct the exact same table based on the information from the json file.
> The "descExtendedTable" function in HcatDelegator should also return extra
> fields from query "desc extended tablename" which contains fields "sd",
> "retention", "parameters" "parametersSize" and "tableType".
