Add more DDL functions for Athena

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. DDL queries of Athena are very important and common commands for users, like describe table, show create table, etc. (More DDL queries, please see the official doc: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/athena/latest/ug/language-reference.html)

Describe the solution you’d like As create_database, create_parquet_table in catelog, repaire_table in athena, add more functions like describe_table , show_create_table in athena.

def describe_table(
    database: str
    table: str
) -> str:

    query = f"describe `{database}`.`{table}`;"
    if (database is not None) and (not database.startswith("`")):
        database = f"`{database}`"
    session: boto3.Session = _utils.ensure_session(session=boto3_session)
    query_id = start_query_execution(
        sql=query,
        database=database,
        s3_output=s3_output,
        workgroup=workgroup,
        encryption=encryption,
        kms_key=kms_key,
        boto3_session=session,
    )
    response: Dict[str, Any] = wait_query(query_execution_id=query_id, boto3_session=session)
    return response["QueryExecution"]["Status"]["State"]

Hi @bryanyang0528 !

It is totally off-topic, but we are stating a “Who uses AWS Data Wrangler?” section. So feel free to add yourself if you want 😄 .

Hi @igorborgest, Appreciate your suggestions. In this case, instead of getting the result from Athena API directly, now I used the way as you mentioned start_query_execution(), wait_query() to generate the result, and I will use another result parser for reading results from s3 and parsing it. wr.catalog.table() is a good example, I will let the result of describe_table as same as wr.catelog.table for consistency.
