Thiruvel Thirumoolan commented on HIVE-1658:
--------------------------------------------
Was writing shell scripts this week that rely on the schema output and there is
no straight forward way to differentiate partitions and columns.
What do folks think on adding another column "flags" that displays "-"/"part"?
We can add additional tags too later (sort..) if necessary. If I can't get to
this tomm, will address it through another JIRA.
