Metadata calls have been added on trunk (0.7.0) I haven't used hive 0.5 myself but the jdbc part seems self contained enough you could perhaps use the one from trunk to connect to 0.5 But I'm not sure if that was enough to get eclipse working, I only tried it on the Squirrel client and some custom code.

I am able to connect Hive through JDBC program in Eclipse and also able to fetch data from it. But when I try to connect to Hive metadata I got the following error :- Driver Loaded. Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201009201158_301097049.txt Sep 20, 2010 11:58:13 AM org.apache.hadoop.hive.ql.session.SessionState$LogHelper printInfo INFO: Hive history file=/tmp/root/hive_job_log_root_201009201158_301097049.txt Got Connection. Exception in thread "main" java.sql.SQLException: Method not supported at org.apache.hadoop.hive.jdbc.HiveDatabaseMetaData.getTables(HiveDatabaseMetaData.java:710) at test.Jdbchivemetadata.main(Jdbchivemetadata.java:15) I use Hadoop = 0.20.2 Hive = 0.5 with Mysql As metastore ***My work for this error*** I think hive_jdbc.jar doesn't support these features to access metastore. I see HiveDatabaseMetaData.java and it has all methods with exceptions 'Method Not Supported '; Can anybody please tell me how to use Hive Metadata if it is possible. The codes are attached with mail. Thanks and Regards Adarsh Sharma
