Comments and ALTER TABLE ------------------------ Key: HIVE-491 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-491 Project: Hadoop Hive Issue Type: Improvement Components: Clients, Documentation, Metastore, Query Processor Reporter: Adam Kramer
Comments are good! They exist about tables and about columns and all sorts of things. However, the ALTER TABLE syntax allows us to ADD COLUMNS but not comments...we should make it as easy as possible for everybody to add comments to a table, especially regarding descriptions of columns. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
