Summary: Describe table unnecessarily fetches partitions Key: HIVE-22453 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22453 Project: Hive Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.3.6, 3.1.2 Reporter: Toshihiko Uchida The simple describe table command without EXTENDED and FORMATTED (i.e., DESCRIBE table_name) fetches all partitions when no partition is specified, although it does not display partition statistics in nature. The command should not fetch partitions since it can take a long time for a large amount of partitions. For instance, in our environment, the command takes around 8 seconds for a table with 8760 (24 * 365) partitions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
