Thiruvel Thirumoolan commented on HIVE-558:
-------------------------------------------
Thanks Namit, I confused obtaining data for those corresponding fields also,
which is when I think it would be truly independent. But I guess its safe to
assume the ordering of elements in DescTableDesc's schema wont change or more
elements added/removed.
> 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.
