Namit Jain commented on HIVE-1920:
----------------------------------
Do you want to change the default behavior to not show any comments ?
describe showcomments <tablename>;
can show the comments - the existing users dont have to change their
applications
> DESCRIBE with comments is difficult to read

> Priority: Minor
> Attachments: HIVE-1920.1.nocomment.patch

> When DESCRIBE is run, comments for columns are displayed next to the column
