[jira] [Created] (HIVE-2189) Hive ignores comments for nested structs

Hive ignores comments for nested structs
----------------------------------------

                 Key: HIVE-2189
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2189
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.7.0
            Reporter: Jakob Homan
            Priority: Minor


While it's possible to add comments to struct elements, it doesn't seem to be possible to then retrieve those comments.  For instance:
{noformat}hive> create table test_table(a STRUCT<z:string COMMENT 'comment for z',x:int> COMMENT 'comment for a');
OK
Time taken: 2.565 seconds
hive> describe test_table;
OK
a	struct<z:string,x:int>	comment for a
Time taken: 0.139 seconds
hive> describe test_table.a;
OK
z	string	from deserializer
x	int	from deserializer
Time taken: 0.096 seconds
hive> describe test_table.a.z;
OK
z	string	from deserializer
Time taken: 0.089 seconds
hive>{noformat}
In this example, even though a comment has been set to field a.z, it doesn't show up in the table or struct's description.  This is due to the way MetastoreUtils treats non-struct elements while generating the table description.  This was identified in HIVE-2154.
