John Sichi commented on HIVE-1497:
----------------------------------

Note recent improvements on DESCRIBE TABLE in HIVE-558.

For command syntax, Hive usually mimics MySQL, so I guess just SHOW is good 
enough (no DESCRIBE needed):

> support COMMENT clause on CREATE INDEX, and add new commands for 
> SHOW/DESCRIBE indexes
