Thiruvel Thirumoolan updated HIVE-558:
--------------------------------------
Attachment: HIVE-558_PrelimPatch.patch
SampleOutputDescribe.txt
Have a initial patch. Wrote a MetaDataFormatUtils class which formats table
information. This seemed better than the earlier approach I had. The output on
a describe & describe extended are attached.
Please let me know your thoughts on the approach and suggestions if any.
> describe extended table/partition output is cryptic

> describe extended table prints out the Thrift metadata object directly. The
> information from it is not easy to read or parse. Output should be easily
> read and can be simple parsed to get table location etc by programs.
