Kevin Wilfong commented on HIVE-2530: ------------------------------------- Ashutosh: I agree that the information can already be viewed via a describe formatted command, however, for tables with a large number of properties, or even a large number of columns or large column comments, it becomes difficult for users to quickly find the property they're looking for. This will help provide a clean view and ease readability. > Implement SHOW TBLPROPERTIES > ---------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-2530 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-2530 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: New Feature > Reporter: Adam Kramer > Assignee: Lei Zhao > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HIVE-2530.D2589.1.patch, HIVE-2530.D2589.2.patch, > HIVE-2530.D2589.3.patch > > > Since table properties can be defined arbitrarily, they should be easy for a > user to query from the command-line. > SHOW TBLPROPERTIES tblname; > ...would show all of them, one per row, key \t value > SHOW TBLPROPERTIES tblname ("FOOBAR"); > ...would just show the value for the FOOBAR tblproperty. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
