Description
It seems like column comments are not visible to tools other than impala client, for example Hue metastore browser or hive beeline.
Steps to reproduce:
- In impala-shell, create any table with column comments (e.g. "create table test (id int comment 'test comment');
- Go to beeline, and run "describe test". Column comments would fail to show up
The opposite is true. For hive tables created in beeline, column comments are visible in impala-shell.
