openstack help congress datasource table schema show is not correct

[Su Zhang]

You will need to use "openstack congress datasource table schema show DS_ID TABLE_NAME" to show table schema.
However, the help page shows

 openstack help congress datasource table schema show
usage: openstack congress datasource table schema show [-h]
                                                       [-f {csv,html,json,table,value,yaml}]
                                                       [-c COLUMN]
                                                       [--max-width <integer>]
                                                       [--quote {all,minimal,none,nonnumeric}]
                                                       <datasource-name>
                                                       <table-name>

Show schema for datasource table.

positional arguments:
  <datasource-name> Name of the datasource
  <table-name> Name of the table

optional arguments:

We should either accept datasource name or change the help info to <datasource-ID> ID of the datasource

ya, weird . Ideally, according to code here https://github.com/openstack/python-congressclient/blob/master/congressclient/osc/v1/datasource.py#L191 , querying both with 'id' and 'name' should be taken care of.
May be the problem is something else, im not sure. I think the error is coming from server rather than client itself. may be some debugging should help, does logs show any detail info on error?
