             Summary: Improve output column name for SHOW PARTITIONS command and improve an error message
                 Key: SPARK-16115
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-16115
             Project: Spark
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: SQL
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0
            Reporter: Sunitha Kambhampati
            Priority: Minor


Opening this issue to address the following:

1. For the SHOW PARTITIONS command, the column name in the output is 'result'.   In Hive, the column name is 'partition' which is more descriptive. 

2. Corner case: Improve the error message for a non-existent table

Right now, the below error is thrown:
 scala> spark.sql("show partitions t1");
 org.apache.spark.sql.AnalysisException: SHOW PARTITIONS is not   allowed on a table that is not partitioned: default.t1;
