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

                 Key: HIVE-1145
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1145
             Project: Hadoop Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Metastore
    Affects Versions: 0.6.0
            Reporter: John Sichi
            Assignee: Paul Yang
             Fix For: 0.6.0


e.g. to get tables which start with x, excluding views:

get_tables_by_type('default', 'x.*', 'EXTERNAL_TABLE|MANAGED_TABLE');

Besides direct use, this can also be used to simplify the JDBC getTables() API, 
which allows filtering by type.
