Namit Jain commented on HIVE-558:
---------------------------------
Thiruvel, thanks a lot for picking up this one.
This will be extremely helpful.
Instead of hardcoding in MetaDataFormatUtils, it might be a good idea to get
the schema from the decsriptor.
For eg, DescTableDesc, ShowTablesDesc etc. all contain a schema - this way if
the schema changes in future,
your code will continue to work
> describe extended table/partition output is cryptic

> 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.
