showing column stats

Hi all,

I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to show column stats than writing a
thrift client calling the thrift API, such as commands in Hive CLI. I have
tried "desc extended" as well as "explain select", but none of them shows
column stats.

Thanks,
Xuefu

Thanks, Prasanth. I tried your patch in HIVE-7050, and it helped me
demonstrate another problem related to stats, HIVE-7053.

I can review your patches. Thanks again!

I have a basic patch which prints table level column stats.. I can put up the patch for it today/tomorrow.. but for displaying partition level column stats we need to extend the “describe” statement to support column names.. 
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/Hive/LanguageManual+DDL#LanguageManualDDL-DescribePartition. If you see the DDL describe partition does not accept column names.

I can create JIRAs for the following tasks
1) Showing column stats in describe table
2) Showing column stats in describe partition

If you would like to take up 2) please feel free to do so.

Thanks
