[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-1977) DESCRIBE TABLE syntax doesn't
support specifying a database qualified table name
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1977?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13067330#comment-13067330 ]
Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1977:
--------------------------------------
I think we can fix this by introducing a new configuration property that controls whether DESCRIBE uses the standard syntax or the Hive syntax.

> The syntax for DESCRIBE is broken. It should be:
> {code}
> DESCRIBE [EXTENDED] [database DOT]table [column]
> {code}
> but is actually
> {code}
> DESCRIBE [EXTENDED] table[DOT col_name]
> {code}
