He Yongqiang commented on HIVE-667:
-----------------------------------

How about adding the file system info to the output of "Describe extended"? 
File System infos i can think up includes:
1) total size  2) file numbers 3) last access time 4) last update time,  and  
others: [average file size, max file size, minimum file size], 

But since describe extended provided some metadata informations, why not use 
"DFS " command to get the file system information?

> Provide hive ql to check table/partition status, including size, creation and 
> access timestamp
