Ryan Harris created HIVE-3456:
---------------------------------
Summary: No apparent way to change table-level COMMENT data
Key: HIVE-3456
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-3456
Project: Hive
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Documentation, Metastore
Affects Versions: 0.9.0, 0.8.1, 0.8.0, 0.7.1, 0.7.0
Reporter: Ryan Harris
Priority: Minor
Not sure if this is a documentation issue, or a feature that is lacking from
ALTER TABLE...
Setting a COMMENT on a table during initial creation is straightforward.
Changing column names and column comments is also straightforward using ALTER
TABLE CHANGE...
However, I have found no way, other than manually editing the metadata to
set/change the table-level comment for a table after it has been created.
