Zoltan Haindrich commented on HIVE-18373:
-----------------------------------------
[~minions] I think you may also just delete this show_columns2 test; it makes
not much sense to interpret:
{code}
SHOW COLUMNS from shcol_test foo;
{code}
that table doesn't exists; earlier there was a parseexception because it was
tottaly out of line; but now it could be a legit command - but the table is
still not created...
> Make it easier to search for column name in a table

> Within a database, to filter for tables with the string 'abc' in its name, I
> can use something like:
> {code:java}
> hive> use my_database;
> hive> show tables '*abc*';
> {code}
> It would be great if I can do something similar to search within the list of
> columns in a table.
> I have a table with around 3200 columns. Searching for the column of interest
> is an onerous task after doing a {{describe}} on it.
