---------------------------------

@Ashish

Thank you for your comment. 
It is difficult to infer the columns list from a sparse column hbase table, we 
do not know exactly how many columns in a given hbase table. We just know all 
the column families of a given hbase table. 
Also, the data in hbase are all raw bytes. If we do not explicitly stat the 
schema mapping, we will lose the information how to serialize/deserialize the 
data from raw bytes.

> Let Hive can analyse hbase's tables
