Sunitha Kambhampati commented on SPARK-23993:
---------------------------------------------
I just tried it out in the current trunk and the command is supported.
I looked at the code and there is DescribeColumnCommand and it was implemented
as part of SPARK-17642[SQL] support DESC EXTENDED/FORMATTED table column
commands.
