Prasad Chakka commented on HIVE-132:
------------------------------------

TestNegativeCliDriver.vm:74
dailed reappears?

I don't understand why the function getSerDe() is needed. The return value is 
being used to serialize partition names etc. Why?



> Show table and describe results should be read via FetchTask

> Right now there is a different code path in the Driver for show 
> tables/describe etc. By adding the FetchTask the code paths will be merged. 
> In addition, the results of these statements will be readable via JDBC.
> Going forward, we should provide SQL access to our metastore similar to 
> access provided by Oracle or mysql to their catalog tables. In this jira, I 
> will just add schema information to show tables and describe queries.
