[jira] [Commented] (ACCUMULO-650) Add table descriptions

["Kevin Faro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-650?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13611871#comment-13611871 ] 

Kevin Faro commented on ACCUMULO-650:
-------------------------------------

So far I have added a desc command to the shell to display the descriptions, added a flag to tables to display the tables and the descriptions, added a flag to createtable to set the description.

the desc command will either display the description for the table or it will update it using a flag.

EX:
{noformat}
user@instance table> desc
table             [description of table]
user@instance table> desc -u 'new description'
table             [new description]
{noformat}

Should I add the ability to set the description when importing a table or a directory?  Also, should I clone the description of the table when the table is cloned?

> We should add a table description field, probably in zookeeper, to store an optional field end users can use to provide their relevant information on the table.
