Thiruvel Thirumoolan commented on HIVE-558: ------------------------------------------- Can I pick this one up if someone else isnt working on it? I would approach it by writing a Utils function to parse and display output of metastore/src/gen-javabean/*Table.toString() in a proper format. Or is there a Thrift helper that gets this done easier? > describe extended table/partition output is cryptic > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-558 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-558 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Metastore > Reporter: Prasad Chakka > > describe extended table prints out the Thrift metadata object directly. The > information from it is not easy to read or parse. Output should be easily > read and can be simple parsed to get table location etc by programs. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
