    Description

      This causes Templeton e2e tests to fail.

      start WeHcat server (build/dist/hcatalog/sbin/webhcat_server.sh start)

      run commands in the attached webhcatMini.sh.
      It creates a table with some comments on columns.

      When executing describe (GET) on this table, original comments are lost and are replaced with "from deserializer" string.

      Here is the output of these commands:
