[jira] Commented: (HIVE-558) describe extended table/partition output is cryptic

["Thiruvel Thirumoolan (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-558?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12895002#action_12895002 ] 

Thiruvel Thirumoolan commented on HIVE-558:
-------------------------------------------

Can I pick this one up if someone else isnt working on it? 

I would approach it by writing a Utils function to parse and display output of metastore/src/gen-javabean/*Table.toString() in a proper format. Or is there a Thrift helper that gets this done easier?

> describe extended table prints out the Thrift metadata object directly. The information from it is not easy to read or parse. Output should be easily read and can be simple parsed to get table location etc by programs.
