I recently noticed the work done in HIVE-16946 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16946> related to information schema. Based on what I understand so far, it uses JdbcSerDe to create hive tables similar to metastore db tables. It looks like an interesting idea. Can someone share how is it used and what was the motivation to add it?
Thanks, Vihang
