Ashish Thusoo commented on HIVE-667:
------------------------------------

Nice.. 

I have one suggestion. I think better than extending describe extended it is 
better to fold this into show table status as Hao had suggested. The reason is 
more of an edge case for folks who may be running the hadoop in the cloud but 
have a local metastore will see errors in case their cluster is not up. 
Thoughts?


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