Kevin Cheung updated HIVE-24965:
--------------------------------
Description:
In certain 3rd party hive UIs, they issue a describe table command, and usually
it's either "describe formatted table" or "describe extended table", and it
will take a very long time for highly partitioned tables (10k+). In the UI,
there is no way to change the settings (to use "describe table"), thus
impairing the user experience. Prior to the feature where partition stats was
gathered, the experience with using the UI had no problems.
This will allow users to selectively change the describe formatted/extended
table behavior at any time.
