[SPARK-17899][SQL] add a debug mode to keep raw table properties in HiveExternalCatalog ## What changes were proposed in this pull request? Currently `HiveExternalCatalog` will filter out the Spark SQL internal table properties, e.g. `spark.sql.sources.provider`, `spark.sql.sources.schema`, etc. This is reasonable for external users as they don't want to see these internal properties in `DESC TABLE`. However, as a Spark developer, sometimes we do wanna see the raw table properties. This PR adds a new internal SQL conf, `spark.sql.debug`, to enable debug mode and keep these raw table properties. This config can also be used in similar places where we wanna retain debug information in the future. ## How was this patch tested? new test in MetastoreDataSourcesSuite You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/cloud-fan/spark debug Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/15458.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #15458 ---- commit e821f1a9d19215fe180ffcbd8183aabd1185a316 Author: Wenchen Fan <wenc...@databricks.com> Date: 2016-10-13T04:21:01Z add a debug mode to keep raw table properties in HiveExternalCatalog ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
