Ayush Saxena commented on HIVE-29342:
-------------------------------------
Currently {{initial-default}} is present in the {{DESCRIBE TABLE FORMATTED}}
output already as part of the current schema
{noformat}
current-schema
{\"type\":\"struct\",\"schema-id\":1,\"fields\":[{\"id\":1,\"name\":\"id\",\"required\":false,\"type\":\"int\"},{\"id\":2,\"name\":\"point\",\"required\":false,\"type\":{\"type\":\"struct\",\"fields\":[{\"id\":3,\"name\":\"x\",\"required\":false,\"type\":\"int\",\"write-default\":100},{\"id\":4,\"name\":\"y\",\"required\":false,\"type\":\"int\",\"write-default\":99}]}},{\"id\":5,\"name\":\"name\",\"required\":false,\"type\":\"string\",\"initial-default\":\"unknown\",\"write-default\":\"unknown\"},{\"id\":6,\"name\":\"age\",\"required\":false,\"type\":\"int\",\"initial-default\":25,\"write-default\":25}]}{noformat}
So, we have the info already.
The {{describe formatted column }} doesn't even print the normal SQL defaults
for any other table as well, the Native SQL defaults.
Those defaults are present in {{DESCRIBE TABLE FORMATTED}}, under the {{Default
Constraints}} sub heading
{noformat}
# Default Constraints
Table: default.ice_parq
Constraint Name: #### A masked pattern was here ####
Column Name:age Default Value:25
{noformat}
I think we should add the Initial Default here only with the other default value
> Iceberg: [V3] Display initial and write defaults in describe formatted column
> output
