👍 Feature 1 is like a field alias, and feature 2 is like extra info for a field. Being able to have these would be quite nice!

I'm working on the ability to have an alias for a column name. This should help to shorten field names or better explain display field names.

They way I've done it so far is to have a popover show up when you click on the column name. You type the alias name in the popover and it's reflected in the table column header. Pretty much like how aliases work in the query panel

Edit: This is for the table panel only. It won't show the alias when you expand the table row however -- but that is an easy change

I've added a feature called "Short dots" to Kibana 4 that shortens fields like this. It is disabled by default but can be enabled under advanced settings.
