Yes, you can, of course, expose the description of each and every Glue table to Hadoop. Out of the box, Hive tables created by Glue already include the field descriptions. On top of that, you can tap into the Glue data dictionary to expose more detailed information to Hadoop.


You will want to look into these Glue base tables:

/DVD/GL_DD_TS  Table header (corresponds to SAP DDIC DD02L)

/DVD/GL_DD_TS  Table structure of Glue tables (corresponds to SAP DDIC DD03L)
