--------------------------------------------------------

I guessed it's cumbersome to deal with custom tables from the api provided by hive currently. 

DDL for table schema should changed from 
  struct{ type1 col1, type2 col2}
to some format like
  struct{ struct{type1 col1, string comment1},  struct{type2 col2, string comment2}}

however, MetaStoreUtils.getDDLFromFieldSchema(structName,  fieldSchemas) is not only for getSchema(table).
