                 Key: HIVE-1977
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1977
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Query Processor
            Reporter: Carl Steinbach


The syntax for DESCRIBE is broken. It should be:

{code}
DESCRIBE [EXTENDED] [database DOT]table [column]
{code}

but is actually

{code}
DESCRIBE [EXTENDED] table[DOT col_name]
{code}
