Information_schema.columns : identity information missing

[MikeHubrecht]

In the documentation is stated that the identity information is reserved for future use and currently always returns 'NO'.
when is this going to be available ? 

and is there an alternative way to check if a specific column is already identity-defined or not ?

[MikeHubrecht]

found an alternative way to check it for the moment :

        # check if identity column is active or not work around

        identityValue = 0

        try:

            identityValue = str(spark.sql(f"show create table {table_catalog}.{table_schema}.{table_name}").collect()[0]).lower().index("identity")

            print(f"No processing {table_catalog}.{table_schema}.{table_name} with primary key : {column_name} because there is already an identity column")

        except:

            identityValue = 0

            print(f"Further processing {table_catalog}.{table_schema}.{table_name} with primary key : {column_name} because there is no identity column")
