Description

In Hive:

describe database functional;
+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| db_name  | comment  | location                                       | owner_name  | owner_type  | parameters  |
+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+
| tpch     |          | hdfs://localhost:20500/test-warehouse/tpch.db  | foo         | USER        |             |
+----------+----------+------------------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+-------------+

In Impala:

describe database extended functional;
+---------+-----------------------------------------------+---------+
| name    | location                                      | comment |
+---------+-----------------------------------------------+---------+
| tpch    | hdfs://localhost:20500/test-warehouse/tpch.db |         |
| Owner:  |                                               |         |
|         | foo                                           | USER    |
+---------+-----------------------------------------------+---------+
