> Within a database, to filter for tables with the string 'abc' in its name, I can use something like:
> {code:java}
> hive> use my_database;
> hive> show tables '*abc*';
> {code}
> It would be great if I can do something similar to search within the list of columns in a table.
> I have a table with around 3200 columns. Searching for the column of interest is an onerous task after doing a {{describe}} on it.
