Namit Jain commented on HIVE-1658:
----------------------------------

Thiruvel, this is a show-stopper for HIVE-558.
The schema for describe and describe extended cannot be changed.

You can add NULLs at the beginning/end, but the number of columns have to be 
maintained

> Fix describe [extended] column formatting
