Aniket Mokashi commented on PIG-972: ------------------------------------ Describe functionality- 1. We describe schema for an alias when we parse the describe statement in the shell. For example - b = foreach ... {... describe a ...}; will describe schema of a after the statement is processed (parsed). 2. We do NOTdescribe any schema as part of the dump command. 3. If user needs to describe a nested schema, he can do so by describing parent alias. For example, describe b; will print the schema of b as well as a.
