Carl Steinbach commented on HIVE-1010:
--------------------------------------

MySQL INFORMATION_SCHEMA views: 
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/information-schema.html

There's been some discussion offline about supporting this using the JDO query 
language, i.e. expressing HiveQL queries against the INFORMATION_SCHEMA as 
JDOQL queries against the metastore.

Additionally, supporting an INFORMATION_SCHEMA is probably the biggest missing 
piece that blocks grafting the PostgreSQL ODBC driver onto Hive (as has been 
done for LucidDB, H2, etc).
