bug with describe and reserved keyword --------------------------------------
Key: HIVE-2949 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2949 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.7.1 Reporter: Fabian Alenius Priority: Minor Hi, there seems to an issue with the describe statement and using reserved keywords for tablenames. Specifically, describe does not seem to work on a table called 'user' even though it's escaped in the query. So this works: show partitions `user`; But this does not work: describe `user`; FAILED: Execution Error, return code 1 from org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.exec.DDLTask -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
