We have to pass `CatalogTable` for avoiding another call of `getTableMetadata`. We also need to pass `SessionCatalog` for calling `lookupRelation`. Do you like this function? or keep the existing one? Thanks! ```Scala private def describeSchema( tableDesc: CatalogTable, catalog: SessionCatalog, buffer: ArrayBuffer[Row]): Unit = { if (DDLUtils.isDatasourceTable(tableDesc)) { DDLUtils.getSchemaFromTableProperties(tableDesc) match { case Some(userSpecifiedSchema) => describeSchema(userSpecifiedSchema, buffer) case None => describeSchema(catalog.lookupRelation(table).schema, buffer) } } else { describeSchema(tableDesc.schema, buffer) } } ```
